The complex genetic architecture of quality traits has hindered efforts to modify seed
nutrients in soybean. Genome-wide association studies were conducted for seed …

Soybean oil and meal are major contributors to world-wide food production. Consequently,
the genetic basis for soybean seed composition has been intensely studied using family …

Abstract Background Cultivated soybean (Glycine max) is a major agricultural crop that
provides a crucial source of edible protein and oil. Decreased amounts of saturated palmitic …

Food resources of the modern world are strained due to the increasing population. There is
an urgent need for innovative methods and approaches to augment food production …

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 …

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 …

Key message Genomic regions associated with seed protein, oil and amino acid contents
were identified by genome-wide association analyses. Geographic distributions of …

Soybean is an important crop providing edible oil and protein source. Soybean oil and
protein contents are quantitatively inherited and significantly affected by environmental …

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is an important source of human dietary protein
and vegetable oil. A strong negative correlation between protein and oil contents has …

Background The relative abundance of five dominant fatty acids (FAs)(palmitic, stearic, oleic,
linoleic and linolenic acids) is a major factor determining seed quality in soybean. Methods …
