Seed oil traits in soybean that are of benefit to human nutrition and health have been
selected for during crop domestication. However, these domesticated traits have significant …

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 …

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 (Glycine max) was domesticated from its wild relative Glycine soja. However, the
genetic variations underlying soybean domestication are not well known. Comparative …

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 …

Increasing the oil concentration in soybean seeds has been given more attention in recent
years because of demand for both edible oil and biodiesel production. Oil concentration in …

Although the biochemical and genetic basis of lipid metabolism is clear in Arabidopsis, there
is limited information concerning the relevant genes in Glycine max (soybean). To address …

Soybean is one of the most important oil crops in the world. Revealing the molecular basis
and exploring key candidate genes for seed oil synthesis has great significance for soybean …

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 …

Abstract Background Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds
are rich in both protein and oil, which are major sources of biofuels and nutrition. Although …
