Soybean oil is the most widely produced vegetable oil in the world and its content in
soybean seed is an important quality trait in breeding programs. More than 100 quantitative …

Background Soybean oil is a major source of edible oil, and the domestication of wild
soybean has resulted in significant changes in oil content and composition. Extensive efforts …

Soybean is globally cultivated primarily for its protein and oil. The protein and oil contents of
the seeds are quantitatively inherited traits determined by the interaction of numerous …

Attempts to alter seed oil content in soybean have been hampered by the complicated
genetic architecture as being controlled by multiple genes. In order to investigate the genetic …

Background Association analysis is an alternative to conventional family-based methods to
detect the location of gene (s) or quantitative trait loci (QTL) and provides relatively high …

Soybean is a globally important oil crop, and the flavour, stability and nutritional value of
soybean oil is dependent on the relative proportions of five primary fatty acids. In this study …

Background Variation in seed oil composition and content among soybean varieties is
largely attributed to differences in transcript sequences and/or transcript accumulation of oil …

To investigate the genetic basis of variation in oil and protein contents in soybean seeds, a
diverse collection of 421 mainly Chinese soybean cultivars was genotyped using 1536 …

Increasing seed oil content is one of the most important breeding goals for soybean due to a
high global demand for edible vegetable oil. However, genetic improvement of seed oil …

Soybean is a globally important legume crop that provides a primary source of high-quality
vegetable protein and oil. Seed protein and oil content are two valuable quality traits …
