Liu L, Zhang L, Fang Z, Shen W, Yin X, Ren Z, Yu Q, Liang J, Liu B. Glyphosate resistance and no fitness cost in backcross offspring of wild soybean and transgenic soybean with epsps gene. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:849. [PMID: 39256665 PMCID: PMC11386519 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05559-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The commercial utilization of genetically modified soybeans has yielded substantial economic advantages. Nevertheless, the genetic drift towards wild soybeans is one of the main ecological risks that needs to be addressed. Previous experiments demonstrated the absence of fitness cost or florescence overlap in hybrid offspring resulting from the crossbreeding of transgenic soybean GTS40-3-2 and Zhengzhou wild soybeans. In this study, hybrid progeny was systematically crossed with wild soybeans to establish a backcross progeny system. This system was employed to evaluate the ecological risk associated with the backcross progeny of transgenic and wild soybeans. RESULTS The findings indicated that the offspring from the backcross exhibited glyphosate tolerance. Furthermore, the expression of foreign proteins in the backcross offspring was notably lower than in the transgenic soybean, and there was no significant difference when compared to the hybrid progeny. Parameters such as germination rate, aboveground biomass, pods per plant, full seeds per plant, and 100-grain weight exhibited no significant differences between the negative and positive lines of the backcross progenies, and no fitness cost was identified in comparison to wild soybeans. These results underscore the potential for foreign genes to propagate within other wild soybeans, which requires continuous attention. CONCLUSIONS The widespread adoption of genetically modified soybeans has undeniably led to substantial economic gains. However, the research findings emphasize the critical importance of addressing the ecological risks posed by genetic drift towards wild soybeans. The backcross progeny system established in this study indicates that the potential for foreign gene dissemination to wild soybean populations warrants continued attention and mitigation strategies.

Abstract
Seed physical dormancy (hard-seededness) is an interesting ecological phenomenon and important agronomic trait. The loss of seed coat impermeability/hard-seededness is a key target trait during the domestication of leguminous crops which allows seeds to germinate rapidly and uniformly. In this study, we examined the mutation of quantitative trait locus (QTL) genes, GmHs1-1 and GmqHS1, in 18 wild soybean (G. soja) and 23 cultivated soybean (G. max) accessions. The sequencing results indicate that a G-to-T substitution in GmqHS1 and a C-to-T substitution in GmHs1-1 occurred in all 23 cultivated soybean accessions but not in any of the 18 wild soybean accessions. The mutations in the two genes led to increased seed coat permeability in cultivated soybean. Therefore, we provide evidence that two genes, GmHs1-1 and GmqHS1, simultaneously contribute to the domestication of hard-seededness in soybeans. This finding is of great significance for genetic analysis and improved utilization of the soybean hard-seededness trait.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) stands as a prevalent and progressively debilitating clinical condition globally, impacting joint structures and leading to their gradual deterioration through inflammatory mechanisms. While both non-modifiable and modifiable factors contribute to its onset, numerous aspects of OA pathophysiology remain elusive despite considerable research strides. Presently, diagnosis heavily relies on clinician expertise and meticulous differential diagnosis to exclude other joint-affecting conditions. Therapeutic approaches for OA predominantly focus on patient education for self-management alongside tailored exercise regimens, often complemented by various pharmacological interventions primarily targeting pain alleviation. However, pharmacological treatments typically exhibit short-term efficacy and local and/or systemic side effects, with prosthetic surgery being the ultimate resolution in severe cases. Thus, exploring the potential integration or substitution of conventional drug therapies with natural compounds and extracts emerges as a promising frontier in enhancing OA management. These alternatives offer improved safety profiles and possess the potential to target specific dysregulated pathways implicated in OA pathogenesis, thereby presenting a holistic approach to address the condition's complexities.

Abstract
Wild soybean (Glycine soja), the ancestor of the cultivated soybean (G. max), is a crucial resource for capturing the genetic diversity of soybean species. In this study, we used a set of 78 genome-wide microsatellite markers to analyse the genetic diversity and geographic differentiation patterns in a global collection of 2,050 G. soja accessions and a mini-core collection of G. max stored in two public seed banks. We observed a notable reduction in the genetic diversity of G. max compared with G. soja and identified a close phylogenetic relationship between G. max and a G. soja subpopulation located in central China. Furthermore, we revealed substantial genetic divergence between northern and southern subpopulations, accompanied by diminished genetic diversity in the northern subpopulations. Two clusters were discovered among the accessions from north-eastern China-one genetically close to those from South Korea and Southern Japan, and another close to those from Amur Oblast, Russia. Finally, 192 accessions were assigned to a mini-core collection of G. soja, retaining 73.8% of the alleles detected in the entire collection. This mini-core collection is accessible to those who need it, facilitating efficient evaluation and utilization of G. soja genetic resources in soybean breeding initiatives.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:3671.

Abstract
The commercial cultivation of herbicide-resistant (HR) transgenic soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr.) raises great concern that transgenes may introgress into wild soybeans (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.) via pollen-mediated gene flow, which could increase the ecological risks of transgenic weed populations and threaten the genetic diversity of wild soybean. To assess the fitness of hybrids derived from transgenic HR soybean and wild soybean, the F2 and F3 descendants of crosses of the HR soybean line T14R1251-70 and two wild soybeans (LNTL and JLBC, which were collected from LiaoNing TieLing and JiLin BaiCheng, respectively), were planted along with their parents in wasteland or farmland soil, with or without weed competition. The fitness of F2 and F3 was significantly increased compared to the wild soybeans under all test conditions, and they also showed a greater competitive ability against weeds. Seeds produced by F2 and F3 were superficially similar to wild soybeans in having a hard seed coat; however, closer morphological examination revealed that the hard-seededness was lower due to the seed coat structure, specifically the presence of thicker hourglass cells in seed coat layers and lower Ca content in palisade epidermis. Hybrid descendants containing the cp4-epsps HR allele were able to complete their life cycle and produce a large number of seeds in the test conditions, which suggests that they would be able to survive in the soil beyond a single growing season, germinate, and grow under suitable conditions. Our findings indicate that the hybrid descendants of HR soybean and wild soybean may pose potential ecological risks in regions of soybean cultivation where wild soybean occurs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crop-wild hybridization has generated great concerns since gene flow can be an avenue for transgene escape. However, a rather limited number of studies on risk assessment regarding the dispersion of transgenes from GM soybean to populations of its wild relatives have been previously conducted. RESULTS The results of the 3-year experiment demonstrated that hybrids between GM soybeans and wild soybean had lower seed germination and higher seed productivity than GM soybean. Both of these features of hybrid (especially F2 and F3) were similar to those of wild soybean. Furthermore, the foreign protein was stably expressed in hybrid EPSPS positive plants; however, no difference was observed in agronomic measurements between hybrids that are glyphosate sensitive or resistant, homozygous or heterozygous for the transgene, indicating that the presence of the EPSPS transgene does not affect the vigor of hybrid. In contrast, hybridization between GM soybean and wild soybean may have more impact on hybrid growth and fecundity, this increase in biomass and yield confers a potential competition benefit to hybrids. CONCLUSIONS Gene flow from GM soybean to wild soybean has the potential to promote the adaptability of hybrids and may increase the possibility of dispersal of transgenes in wild soybean relatives.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is one of the most significant crops in the world in terms of oil and protein. Owing to the rising demand for soybean products, there is an increasing need for improved varieties for more productive farming. However, complex correlation patterns among quantitative traits along with genetic interactions pose a challenge for soybean breeding. Association studies play an important role in the identification of accession with useful alleles by locating genomic sites associated with the phenotype in germplasm collections. In the present study, a genome-wide association study was carried out for seven agronomic and yield-related traits. A field experiment was conducted in 2015/2016 at two locations that include 155 diverse soybean germplasm. These germplasms were genotyped using SoySNP50K Illumina Infinium Bead-Chip. A total of 51 markers were identified for node number, plant height, pods per plant, seeds per plant, seed weight per plant, hundred-grain weight, and total yield using a multi-locus linear mixed model (MLMM) in FarmCPU. Among these significant SNPs, 18 were putative novel QTNs, while 33 co-localized with previously reported QTLs. A total of 2,356 genes were found in 250 kb upstream and downstream of significant SNPs, of which 17 genes were functional and the rest were hypothetical proteins. These 17 candidate genes were located in the region of 14 QTNs, of which ss715580365, ss715608427, ss715632502, and ss715620131 are novel QTNs for PH, PPP, SDPP, and TY respectively. Four candidate genes, Glyma.01g199200, Glyma.10g065700, Glyma.18g297900, and Glyma.14g009900, were identified in the vicinity of these novel QTNs, which encode lsd one like 1, Ergosterol biosynthesis ERG4/ERG24 family, HEAT repeat-containing protein, and RbcX2, respectively. Although further experimental validation of these candidate genes is required, several appear to be involved in growth and developmental processes related to the respective agronomic traits when compared with their homologs in Arabidopsis thaliana. This study supports the usefulness of association studies and provides valuable data for functional markers and investigating candidate genes within a diverse germplasm collection in future breeding programs.

During transgenic soybean cultivation, exogenous genes may be transferred to wild relatives through gene flow, posing unpredictable ecological risks. Accordingly, an environmental risk assessment should focus on fitness changes and underlying mechanisms in hybrids between transgenic and wild soybeans (Glycine soja). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was used for in situ detection and imaging of protein changes in the seeds of transgenic herbicide-resistant soybean harboring epsps and pat genes, non-transgenic soybean, wild soybean, and their F2 hybrid. Protein data clearly distinguished wild soybeans, while the F2 seeds had protein characteristics of both parents and were distinguished from wild soybean seeds. Using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, 22 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified, including 13 specific to wild soybean. Sucrose synthase and stress response-related DEPs were differentially expressed in parental and offspring. Differences in these may underpin the greater adaptability of the latter. MSI revealed DEP distribution in transgenic, wild, and F2 seeds. Identifying DEPs related to fitness may elucidate mechanisms underlying fitness differences among the studied varieties. Our study shows that MALDI-MSI has the potential to become a visual method for transgenic soybean analysis.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Here, a novel pleiotropic QTL qSS14 simultaneously regulating four seed size traits and two consistently detected QTLs qSW17 and qSLW02 were identified across multiple years. Seed-related traits were the key agronomic traits that have been artificially selected during the domestication of wild soybean. Identifying the genetic loci and genes that regulate seed size could clarify the genetic variations in seed-related traits and provide novel insights into high-yield soybean breeding. In this study, we used a high-density genetic map constructed by F10 RIL populations from a cross between Glycine max and Glycine soja to detect additive QTLs for seven seed-related traits over the last three years. As a result, we identified one novel pleiotropic QTL, qSS14, that simultaneously controlled four seed size traits (100-seed weight, seed length, seed width, and seed thickness) and two consistently detected QTLs, qSW17, and qSLW02, in multiple years of phenotypic data. Furthermore, we predicted two, two and three candidate genes within these three critical loci based on the parental resequencing data and gene function annotations. And the relative expression of four candidate genes GLYMA_14G155100, GLYMA_17G061000, GLYMA_02G273100, and GLYMA_02G273300 showed significant differences among parents and the extreme materials through qRT-PCR analysis. These findings could facilitate the determination of beneficial genes in wild soybean and contribute to our understanding of the soybean domestication process.

Abstract
Domestication of azuki bean and soybean has enabled them to acquire non-dormant seeds, non-shattering pods, and larger seed size. Seed remains of the Jomon period recently discovered at archeological sites in the Central Highlands of Japan (6,000-4,000 BP) suggest that the use of azuki bean and soybean and their increase in seed size began earlier in Japan than in China and Korea; molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that azuki bean and soybean originated in Japan. Recent identification of domestication genes indicate that the domestication traits of azuki bean and soybean were established by different mechanisms. Analyses of domestication related genes using DNA extracted from the seed remains would reveal further details about their domestication processes.

Abstract
Four major quantitative trait loci for 100-seed weight were identified in a soybean RIL population under five environments, and the most likely candidate genes underlying these loci were identified. Seed weight is an important target of soybean breeding. However, the genes underlying the major quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling seed weight remain largely unknown. In this study, a soybean population of 300 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between PI595843 (PI) and WH was used to map the QTL and identify candidate genes for seed weight. The RIL population was genotyped through whole genome resequencing, and phenotyped for 100-seed weight under five environments. A total of 38 QTL were detected, and four major QTL, each explained at least 10% of the variation in 100-seed weight, were identified. Six candidate genes within these four major QTL regions were identified by analyses of their tissue expression patterns, gene annotations, and differential gene expression levels in soybean seeds during four developmental stages between two parental lines. Further sequence variation analyses revealed a C to T substitution in the first exon of the Glyma.19G143300, resulting in an amino acid change between PI and WH, and thus leading to a different predicted kinase domain, which might affect its protein function. Glyma.19G143300 is highly expressed in soybean seeds and encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK). Its predicted protein has typical domains of LRR-RLK family, and phylogenetic analyses reveled its similarity with the known LRR-RLK protein XIAO (LOC_Os04g48760), which is involved in controlling seed size. The major QTL and candidate genes identified in this study provide useful information for molecular breeding of new soybean cultivars with desirable seed weight.

Abstract
The introduction of herbicide-tolerant (HT) transgenic soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) into farming systems raises great concern that transgenes may flow to endemic wild soybeans (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.) via pollen, which may increase the ecological risks by increasing the fitness of hybrids under certain conditions and threaten the genetic diversity of wild soybean populations. In order to demonstrate the potential risk of gene flow from the HT soybean to the wild soybean, the fitness of F2 and F3 hybrids obtained from two wild soybean populations (HLJHRB-1, JSCZ) collected from China and the HT soybean was measured under farmland and wasteland soil conditions, as well as with or without weed competition. Compared with their wild progenitors, the F2 and F3 hybrids of HLJHRB-1 displayed a higher emergence rate, higher aboveground dry biomass, more pods and filled-seed plants, as well as better composite fitness under four planting conditions. The F2 and F3 hybrids of JSCZ also displayed a higher emergence rate, higher aboveground dry biomass, more pods, and more filled seeds per plant under mixed planting, whereas these characteristics were lower under pure planting conditions in wasteland and farmland soil. Therefore, the composite fitness of JSCZ hybrids was higher or lower depending on the planting conditions. Furthermore, the soil microbial communities of the F3 of HLJHRB-1, JSCZ, and the wild soybean were investigated with 16S rDNA sequencing, which showed that low alpha diversity of rhizobacteria was relative to high fitness, and Rhizobium played an important role in promoting F3 plant growth.

Abstract
Genetic populations provide the basis for genetic and genomic research, and chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are a powerful tool for the fine mapping of quantitative traits, new gene mining, and marker-assisted breeding. In this study, 213 CSSLs were obtained by self-crossing, backcrossing, and marker-assisted selection between cultivated soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) variety Suinong14 (SN14) and wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.) ZYD00006. The genomes of these 213 CSSLs were resequenced and 580,524 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers were obtained, which were divided into 3,780 bin markers. The seed-pod-related traits were analyzed by quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping using CSSLs. A total of 170 QTLs were detected, and 32 QTLs were detected stably for more than 2 years. Through epistasis analysis, 955 pairs of epistasis QTLs related to seed-pod traits were obtained. Furthermore, the hundred-seed weight QTL was finely mapped to the region of 64.4 Kb on chromosome 12, and Glyma.12G088900 was identified as a candidate gene. Taken together, a set of wild soybean CSSLs was constructed and upgraded by a resequencing technique. The seed-pod-related traits were studied by bin markers, and a candidate gene for the hundred-seed weight was finely mapped. Our results have revealed the CSSLs can be an effective tool for QTL mapping, epistatic effect analysis, and gene cloning.

Abstract
Vining growth (VG) and high plant height (PH) are the physiological traits of wild soybean that preclude their utilization for domesticated soybean breeding and improvement. To identify VG- and PH-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in different genetic resources, two populations of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were developed by crossing a cultivated soybean, Zhonghuang39 (ZH39), with two wild soybean accessions, NY27-38 and NY36-87. Each line from the two crosses was evaluated for VG and PH. Three QTLs for VG and three for PH, detected in the ZH39 × NY27-38 population of the RILs, co-located on chromosomes 2, 17 and 19. The VG- and PH-related QTL in the ZH39 × NY36-87 population co-located on chromosome 19. A common QTL shared by the two populations was located on chromosome 19, suggesting that this major QTL was consistently selected for in different genetic backgrounds. The results suggest that different loci are involved in the domestication or adaptations of soybean of various genetic backgrounds. The molecular markers presented here would benefit the fine mapping and cloning of candidate genes underlying the VG and PH co-localized regions and thus facilitate the utilization of wild resources in breeding by avoiding undesirable traits.

Abstract
Exogenous genes of transgenic crops are usually transferred to their wild-type relatives through pollen-mediated gene flow, which may change the ecological fitness and ability to invade wild populations, resulting in the weeding of wild plants and other unpredictable environmental impacts. In this study, the F1 generation of herbicide-resistant soybeans and wild soybeans was obtained by artificial pollination, F2 generation seeds were obtained by self-crossing, and the fitness of the parents and their F1 and F2 generations were tested. The foreign protein EPSPS was expressed normally in the hybrid between transgenic and wild soybeans; however, the protein expression was significantly lower than that in transgenic soybeans. The fitness of the F1 hybrid between transgenic and wild soybeans was significantly lower than that of its parent. Compared with those of the wild soybeans, the F2 generation soybeans improved in some fitness indices, while the emergence rate, pollen germination rate, and number of full seeds per pod, pods per plant, and full seeds per plant did not significantly differ. The aboveground biomass and 100-seed weight of the F2 generation were higher than those of wild soybeans. Fitness among the F2-negative plants, homozygous, and heterozygous positive plants did not significantly vary. Improved fitness and presence of foreign genes in the F2 soybean were not significantly correlated. As the F2 generation of transgenic and wild soybeans had no fitness cost and the flowering stage were overlapped, the foreign gene might still spread in the wild soybean population.

Abstract
Flowering time, plant height, branch number, node numbers of main stem and pods per plant are important agronomic traits related to photoperiodic sensitivity, plant type and yield of soybean, which are controlled by multiple genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL). The main purpose of this study is to identify new QTL for five major agronomic traits, especially for flowering time. Three biparental populations were developed by crossing cultivars from northern and central China. Specific loci amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) was used to construct linkage map and QTL mapping was carried out. A total of 10 QTL for flowering time were identified in three populations, some of which were related to E1 and E2 genes or the other reported QTL listed in Soybase. In the Y159 population (Xudou No.9 × Kenfeng No.16), QTL for flowering time on chromosome 4, qFT4_1 and qFT4_2 were new. Compared with the QTL reported in Soybase, 1 QTL for plant height (PH), 3 QTL for branch number (BR), 5 QTL for node numbers of main stem, and 3 QTL for pods per plant were new QTL. Major E genes were frequently detected in different populations indicating that major the E loci had a great effect on flowering time and adaptation of soybean. Therefore, in order to further clone minor genes or QTL, it may be of great significance to carefully select the genotypes of known loci. These results may lay a foundation for fine mapping and clone of QTL/genes related to plant-type, provided a basis for high yield breeding of soybean.

Abstract
Herbal products are often used as an alternative to pharmacological therapy. Menopausal symptoms and gynecological disorders (such as premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea) are the indications where pharmacological therapy may have serious adverse events, hence many women prefer to use herbal products to help with these symptoms. Here, we reviewed plants and derived products, which are commonly used for the abovementioned indications, focusing on clinical data, safely profile and whether or not their use is justified. We noted that limited data are available on the use of some plants for alleviating the symptoms of menopause and gynecological disorders. While black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemose) and red clover (Trifolium pretense) were consistently shown to help reduce menopausal symptoms in clinical studies, currently available data do not fully support the use of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), hops (Humulus lupulus), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), and soybean (Glycine max and Glycine soja) for this indication. For premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) shows effectiveness, but more clinical studies are needed to confirm such effect upon the use of evening primrose (Oenothera biennis).

Abstract
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an important grain and oil crop in the world, and it is the main source of high-quality protein. The number of four-seeded pods is a quantitative trait in soybean and is closely related to yield in terms of breeding. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the inheritance of four-seed pods and to excavate related genes for improving soybean yield. In this study, individuals with high ratio of four-seed pods which from chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) that can be stably inherited were selected as the parent, and Suinong 14 (SN14) was used as recurrent parent to construct secondary mapping population via marker-assisted selection. From 2006 to 2017, QTL analysis was performed using secondary mapping populations, and the initial QTL mapping interval was 0.67 Mb and was located on Gm07. Based on the initial QTL mapping results, individuals that were heterozygous at the interval (36,116,118-37,399,738 bp) were screened in 2018, and the heterozygous individuals were subjected to inbreeding to obtain 13 F3 populations, with a target interval of 321 kb. Gene annotation was performed on the fine mapping interval, and 27 genes were obtained. Among 27 genes, Glyma.07G200900 and Glyma.07G201200 were identified as candidate genes. qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of the 2 candidate genes at different developmental stages of soybean, and the expression levels of the 2 candidate genes in terms of cell division (axillary buds, COTs, EMs) were higher than those in terms of cell expansion (MM, LM), and these genes play a positive regulatory role in the formation of four-seeded pods. Haplotype analysis of 2 candidate genes which shows that Glyma.07G201200 has two excellent haplotypes, and the significance level between the two excellent haplotypes at p < 0.05. Those results provide the information for gene map-based cloning and molecular marker-assisted breeding of the number of four-seeded pod in soybean.

Abstract
Flowering time (FT) and plant height (PH) are important agronomic traits in soybean. However, their genetic foundations are not fully understood. Thus, in this study, a total of 106,013 single nucleotide polymorphisms in 286 soybean accessions were used to associate with the first and full FT (FT1 and FT2) and PH in 4 environments and their BLUP values using 6 multi-locus genome-wide association study methods. As a result, 38, 43, and 27 stable quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were identified, respectively, for FT1, FT2, and PH across at least 3 methods and/or environments. Among these QTNs for FT1, FT2, and PH, 31, 36, and 21 were found to have significant phenotype differences across 2 alleles; 22, 18, and 13 were consistent with the corresponding loci in previous studies; 13 and 8 genes, with more than average expression level, around 64 FT and 27 PH QTNs were predicted as their corresponding candidate genes. Among these candidate genes, GmPRR3b, and GmGIa for FT, and GmTFL1b for PH were known, while some were new, e.g., GmPHYA4, GmVRN5, GmFPA, and GmSPA1 for FT, and Glyma.02g300200, GmFPA, and Glyma.13g339800 for PH. All the validated QTNs were used to design the best cross-combinations in 2 FT directions. In each FT direction, the best 5 cross-combinations were predicted, such as Heihe 54 × Qincha 1 for early FT, and Yingdejiadou × Wuhuabayuehuang for late FT. This study provides solid foundations for genetic basis, molecular biology, and breeding by design of soybean FT and PH.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION QTL mapping of stem diameter was carried out in three RIL populations using a high-density genetic map, and candidate genes related to stem diameter were predicted. Stem diameter is an important agronomic trait affecting soybean lodging and productivity. However, this trait is underexploited, and the underlying genetic mechanism in soybean remains unclear. In this study, three recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations, including 156 F10 lines from Nannong 94-156 × Bogao (N × B), 127 F9 lines from Dongnong 50 × Williams 82 (D × W), and 146 F9 lines from Suinong 14 × Enrei (S × E), were used to identify QTLs for soybean stem diameter across multiple environments. Phenotype analysis revealed that stem diameter exhibited strong positive correlations with plant height and 100-seed weight, two of the most important yield components. A total of 12 QTLs for stem diameter were identified on eight chromosomes across three RIL populations and five environments. The most influential QTL that was stably identified across all the populations and environments, q11, explained 12.58-26.63% of the phenotypic variation. Detection of several environment-specific QTLs, including q14, q16, and q20, suggests that environments may also have important effects in shaping the natural variation in soybean stem diameter. Furthermore, we predicted candidate genes underlying the QTLs and found that several promising candidate genes may be responsible for the variation in stem diameter in soybean. Overall, the markers/genes linked closely or underlying the major QTLs may be used for marker-assisted selection of soybean varieties to enhance lodging resistance and even yield. Our results lay the foundation for the fine mapping of stem development-related genes to reveal the molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] produces a compound raceme inflorescence that branches into secondary inflorescences, which produce flowers. This architecture results in the less-domesticated traits of asynchronous pod maturity and multiple harvest times. This study identified the genetic factors responsible for the compound raceme of mungbean, providing a unique biological opportunity to improve simultaneous flowering. Using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from VC1973A, an elite cultivar with a compound raceme type, and IT208075, a natural mutant with a simple raceme type, a single locus that determined the inflorescence type was identified based on 1:1 segregation ratio in the F8 generation, and designated Comraceme. Linkage map analysis showed Comraceme was located on chromosome 4 within a marker interval spanning 520 kb and containing 64 genes. RILs carrying heterozygous fragments around Comraceme produced compound racemes, indicating this form was dominant to the simple raceme type. Quantitative trait loci related to plant architecture and inflorescence have been identified in genomic regions of soybean syntenic to Comraceme. In IT208075, 15 genes were present as distinct variants not observed in other landrace varieties or wild mungbean. These genes included Vradi04g00002481, a development-related gene encoding a B3 transcriptional factor. The upstream region of Vradi04g00002481 differed between lines producing the simple and compound types of raceme. Expression of Vradi04g00002481 was significantly lower at the early vegetative stage and higher at the early reproductive stage, in IT208075 than in VC1973A. Vradi04g00002481 was therefore likely to determine inflorescence type in mungbean. Although further study is required to determine the functional mechanism, this finding provides valuable genetic information for understanding the architecture of the compound raceme in mungbean.

Abstract
Annual wild soybean (G. soja) is the ancestor of the cultivated soybean (G. max). To reveal the genetic changes from soja to max, an improved wild soybean chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) population, SojaCSSLP5, composed of 177 CSSLs with 182 SSR markers (SSR-map), was developed based on SojaCSSLP1 generated from NN1138-2(max)×N24852(soja). The SojaCSSLP5 was genotyped further through whole-genome resequencing, resulting in a physical map with 1366 SNPLDBs (SNP linkage-disequilibrium blocks), which are composed of more markers/segments, shorter marker length and more recombination breakpoints than the SSR-map and caused 721 new wild substituted segments. Using the SNPLDB-map, two loci co-segregating with seed-coat color (SCC) and six loci for days to flowering (DTF) with 88.02% phenotypic contribution were identified. Integrated with parental RNA-seq and DNA-resequencing, two SCC and six DTF candidate genes, including three previously cloned (G, E2 and GmPRR3B) and five newly detected ones, were predicted and verified at nucleotide mutant level, and then demonstrated with the consistency between gene-alleles and their phenotypes in SojaCSSLP5. In total, six of the eight genes were identified with the parental allele-pairs coincided to those in 303 germplasm accessions, then were further demonstrated by the consistency between gene-alleles and germplasm phenotypes. Accordingly, the CSSL population integrated with parental DNA and RNA sequencing data was demonstrated to be an efficient platform in identifying candidate wild vs. cultivated gene-alleles.

Abstract
Seed weight and shape are important agronomic traits that affect soybean quality and yield. In the present study, we used image analysis software to evaluate 100-seed weight and seed shape traits (length, width, perimeter, projection area, length/width, and weight/projection area) of 155 novel recombinant inbred soybean lines (NJRISX) generated by crossing "Su88-M21" and "XYXHD". We examined quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with the six traits (except seed weight per projection area), and identified 42 additive QTLs (5-8 QTLs per trait) accounting for 24.9-37.5% of the phenotypic variation (PV). Meanwhile, 2-4 epistatic QTL pairs per trait out of a total of 18 accounted for 2.5-7.2% of the PV; and unmapped minor QTLs accounted for the remaining 35.0-56.7% of the PV. A total of 28 additive and 11 epistatic QTL pairs were concentrated in nine joint QTL segments (JQSs), indicating that QTLs associated with seed weight and shape are closely related and interacted. An interaction was also detected between additive and epistatic QTL pairs and environment, which made significant contributions of 1.4-9.5% and 0.4-0.8% to the PV, respectively. We annotated 18 candidate genes in the nine JQSs, which were important for interpreting the close relationships among the six traits. These findings indicate that examining the interactions between closely related traits rather than only analyzing individual trait provides more useful insight into the genetic system of the interrelated traits for which there has been limited QTL information.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Two major QTLs associated with low seed coat deficiency of soybean seeds were identified in two biparental populations, and three SNP markers were validated to assist low-SCD natto soybean breeding selection. Soybean seed coat deficiency (SCD), known as seed coat cracking during soaking in the natto production process, is problematic because split or broken beans clog production lines and increases production costs. Development of natto soybean cultivars with low SCD is crucial to support the growth of the natto industry. Unfortunately, information on the genetic control of SCD in soybean, which is desperately needed to facilitate breeding selection, remains sparse. In this study, two F2 populations derived from V11-0883 × V12-1626 (Pop 1) and V11-0883 × V12-1885 (Pop 2) were developed and genotyped with BARCSoySNP6K Beadchips and F2-derived lines were evaluated for SCD in three consecutive years (2016-2018) in order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with low SCD in soybean. A total of 17 QTLs underlying SCD were identified in two populations. Among these, two major and stable QTLs, qSCD15 on chromosome 15 and qSCD20 on chromosome 20, were detected across multiple years. These QTLs explained up to 30.3% of the phenotypic variation for SCD in Pop 1 and 6.1% in Pop 2 across years. Three SNP markers associated with the qSCD20 were validated in additional four biparental populations. The average selection efficiency of low-SCD soybean was 77% based on two tightly linked markers, Gm20_34626867 and Gm20_34942502, and 64% based on the marker Gm20_35625615. The novel and stable QTLs identified in this study will facilitate elucidation of the genetic mechanism controlling SCD in soybean, and the markers will significantly accelerate breeding for low-SCD soybean through marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
100-seed weight (100-SW) in soybeans is a yield component trait and controlled by multiple genes with different effects, but limited information is available for its quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) and candidate genes. To better understand the genetic architecture underlying the trait and improve the precision of marker-assisted selection, a total of 43,834 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 250 soybean accessions were used to identify significant QTNs for 100-SW in four environments and their BLUP values using six multi-locus and one single-locus genome-wide association study methods. As a result, a total of 218 significant QTNs were detected using multi-locus methods, whereas eight QTNs were identified by a single-locus method. Among 43 QTNs or QTN clusters identified repeatedly across various environments and/or approaches, all of them exhibited significant trait differences between their corresponding alleles, 33 were found in the genomic region of previously reported QTLs, 10 were identified as new QTNs, and three (qHSW-4-1, qcHSW-7-3, and qcHSW-10-4) were detected in all the four environments. The number of seed weight (SW) increasing alleles for each accession ranged from 8 (18.6%) to 36 (83.72%), and three accessions (Yixingwuhuangdou, Nannong 95C-5, and Yafanzaodou) had more than 35 SW increasing alleles. Among 36 homologous seed-weight genes in Arabidopsis underlying the above 43 stable QTNs, more importantly, Glyma05g34120, GmCRY1, and GmCPK11 had known seed-size/weight-related genes in soybean, and Glyma07g07850, Glyma10g03440, and Glyma10g36070 were candidate genes identified in this study. These results provide useful information for genetic foundation, marker-assisted selection, genomic prediction, and functional genomics of 100-SW.

Genetic dissection of yield-related traits via genome-wide association analysis across multiple environments in wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc.). PLANTA 2020; 251:39. [PMID: 31907621 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-019-03329-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION A total of 41 SNPs were identified as significantly associated with five yield-related traits in wild soybean populations across multiple environments, and the candidate gene GsCID1 was found to be associated with seed weight. These results may facilitate improvements in cultivated soybean. Crop-related wild species contain new sources of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc.) is the progenitor of cultivated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and can be used as an essential genetic resource for yield improvements. In this research, using genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 96 out of 113 wild soybean accessions with 114,090 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (with minor allele frequencies ≤ 0.05), SNPs associated with five yield-related traits were identified across multiple environments. In total, 41 SNPs were significantly associated with the traits in two or more environments (significance threshold P ≤ 8.76 × 10-6), with 29, 7, 3, and 2 SNPs detected for 100-seed weight (SW), maturity time (MT), seed yield per plant (SY) and flowering time (FT), respectively. BLAST search against the Glycine soja W05 reference genome was performed, 20 candidate genes were identified based on these 41 significant SNPs. One candidate gene, GsCID1 (Glysoja.04g010563), harbored two significant SNPs-AX-93713187, with a non-synonymous mutation, and AX-93713188, with a synonymous mutation. GsCID1 was highly expressed during seed development based on public information resources. The polymorphisms in this gene were associated with SW. We developed a derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) marker for GsCID1 that was highly associated with SW and was validated as a functional marker. In summary, the revealed SNPs/genes are useful for understanding the genetic architecture of yield-related traits in wild soybean, which could be used as a potential exotic resource to improve cultivated soybean yields.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Genome-wide association analyses identified candidates for genes involved in restricting virus movement into embryonic tissues, suppressing virus-induced seed coat mottling and preserving yield in soybean plants infected with soybean mosaic virus. Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) causes significant reductions in soybean yield and seed quality. Because seedborne infections can serve as primary sources of inoculum for SMV infections, resistance to SMV seed transmission provides a means to limit the impacts of SMV. In this study, two diverse population panels, Pop1 and Pop2, composed of 409 and 199 soybean plant introductions, respectively, were evaluated for SMV seed transmission rate, seed coat mottling, and seed yield from SMV-infected plants. The phenotypic data and genotypic data from the SoySNP50K dataset were analyzed using GAPIT and rrBLUP. For SMV seed transmission rate, a single locus was identified on chromosome 9 in Pop1. For SMV-induced seed coat mottling, loci were identified on chromosome 9 in Pop1 and on chromosome 3 in Pop2. For seed yield from SMV-infected plants, a single locus was identified on chromosome 3 in Pop2 that was within the map interval of a previously described quantitative trait locus for seed number. The high linkage disequilibrium regions surrounding the markers on chromosomes 3 and 9 contained a predicted nonsense-mediated RNA decay gene, multiple pectin methylesterase inhibitor genes (involved in restricting virus movement), two chalcone synthase genes, and a homolog of the yeast Rtf1 gene (involved in RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing). The results of this study provided additional insight into the genetic architecture of these three important traits, suggested candidate genes for downstream functional validation, and suggested that genomic prediction would outperform marker-assisted selection for two of the four trait-marker associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hundred seed weight (HSW) is one of the yield components of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] and is especially critical for various soybean food types. In this study, a representative sample consisting of 185 accessions was selected from Northeast China and analysed in three tested environments to determine the quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) of HSW through a genome-wide association study (GWAS). RESULT A total of 24,180 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequencies greater than 0.2 and missing data less than 3% were utilized to estimate linkage disequilibrium (LD) levels in the tested association panel. Thirty-four association signals were identified as associated with HSW via GWAS. Among them, nineteen QTNs were novel, and another fifteen QTNs were overlapped or located near the genomic regions of known HSW QTL. A total of 237 genes, derived from 31 QTNs and located near peak SNPs from the three tested environments in 2015 and 2016, were considered candidate genes, were related to plant growth regulation, hormone metabolism, cell, RNA, protein metabolism, development, starch accumulation, secondary metabolism, signalling, and the TCA cycle, some of which have been found to participate in the regulation of HSW. A total of 106 SNPs from 16 candidate genes were significantly associated with HSW in soybean. CONCLUSIONS The identified loci with beneficial alleles and candidate genes might be valuable for the molecular network and MAS of HSW.

Abstract
Cultivated soybean (Glycine max) was derived from the wild soybean (Glycine soja), which has genetic resources that can be critically important for improving plant stress resistance. However, little information is available pertaining to the molecular and physiochemical comparison between the cultivated and wild soybeans in response to the pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. In this study, we first used comparative phenotypic and paraffin section analyses to indicate that wild soybean is indeed more resistant to F. oxysporum than cultivated soybean. Genome-wide RNA-sequencing approach was then used to elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying the differential physiological and biochemical responses of the cultivated soybean, and its relative, to F. oxysporum. A greater number of genes related to cell wall synthesis and hormone metabolism were significantly altered in wild soybean than in cultivated soybean under F. oxysporum infection. Accordingly, a higher accumulation of lignins was observed in wild soybean than cultivated soybean under F. oxysporum infection. Collectively, these results indicated that secondary metabolites and plant hormones may play a vital role in differentiating the response between cultivated and wild soybeans against the pathogen. These important findings may provide future direction to breeding programs to improve resistance to F. oxysporum in the elite soybean cultivars by taking advantage of the genetic resources within wild soybean germplasm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The different leaf type associated traits of soybean (Glycine max L.) including leaf area, leaf length, leaf width, leaf shape and petiole length are considered to be associated with seed yield. In order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting leaf type traits, two advanced recombinant inbred line (RIL, ZH, Zhonghuang 24 × Huaxia 3; GB, Guizao 1 × Brazil 13) populations were introduced to score phenotypic values in plants across nine different environments (years, seasons, locations and soybean growth stages). Two restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) based high-density genetic linkage maps with an average distance of 1.00 centimorgan (cM) between adjacent bin markers were utilized for QTL fine mapping. RESULTS Correlation analysis showed that most of the traits were correlated with each other and regulated both by hereditary and environmental factors. A total of 190 QTLs were identified for leaf type associated traits in the two populations, of which 14 loci were found to be environmentally stable. Moreover, these detected QTLs were categorized into 34 QTL hotspots, and four important QTL hotspots with phenotypic variance ranging from 3.89-23.13% were highlighted. Furthermore, Glyma04g05840, Glyma19g37820, Glyma14g07140 and Glyma19g39340 were predicted in the intervals of the stable loci and important QTL hotspots for leaf type traits by adopting Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings of the QTLs and the putative genes will be beneficial to gain new insights into the genetic basis for soybean leaf type traits and may further accelerate the breeding process for reasonable leaf type soybean.

Abstract
Flowering time and maturity are important agronomic traits for soybean cultivars to adapt to different latitudes and achieve maximal yield. Genetic studies on genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control flowering time and maturity are extensive. In particular, the molecular bases of E1-E4, E6, E9, E10, and J have been deciphered. For a better understanding of regulation of flowering time gene networks, we need to understand if more molecular factors carrying different biological functions are also involved in the regulation of flowering time in soybeans. We developed a population derived from a cross between a landrace Jilincailihua (male) and a Chinese cultivar Chongnong16 (female). Both parents carry the same genotypes of E1e2E3HaE4 at E1, E2, E3, and E4 loci. Nighty-six individuals of the F2 population were genotyped with Illumina SoySNP8k iSelect BeadChip. A total of 2,407 polymorphic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were used to construct a genetic linkage map. One major QTL, qFT12-1, was mapped to an approximately 567-kB region on chromosome 12. Genotyping and phenotyping of recombinant plant whose recombination events were occurring within the QTL region allowed us to narrow down the QTL region to 56.4 kB, in which four genes were annotated. Allelism and association analysis indicated Glyma.12G073900, a PRR7 homolog, is the strongest candidate gene for qFT12-1. The findings of this study disclosed the possible involvement of circadian clock gene in flowering time regulation of soybeans.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Eighty-six R1 QTLs accounting for 89.92% phenotypic variance in a soybean RIL population were identified using RTM-GWAS with SNPLDB marker which performed superior over CIM and MLM-GWAS with BIN/SNPLDB marker. A population (NJRIKY) composed of 427 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from Kefeng-1 × NN1138-2 (MGII × MGV, MG maturity group) was applied for detecting flowering date (R1) quantitative trait locus (QTL) system in soybean. From a low-depth re-sequencing (~ 0.75 ×), 576,874 SNPs were detected and organized into 4737 BINs (recombination breakpoint determinations) and 3683 SNP linkage disequilibrium blocks (SNPLDBs), respectively. Using the association mapping procedures "Restricted Two-stage Multi-locus Genome-wide Association Study" (RTM-GWAS), "Mixed Linear Model Genome-wide Association Study" (MLM-GWAS) and the linkage mapping procedure "Composite Interval Mapping" (CIM), 67, 36 and 10 BIN-QTLs and 86, 14 and 23 SNPLDB-QTLs were detected with their phenotypic variance explained (PVE) 88.70-89.92% (within heritability 98.2%), 146.41-353.62% (overflowing) and 88.29-172.34% (overflowing), respectively. The RTM-GWAS with SNPLDBs which showed to be more efficient and reasonable than the others was used to identify the R1 QTL system in NJRIKY. The detected 86 SNPLDB-QTLs with their PVE from 0.02 to 30.66% in a total of 89.92% covered 51 out of 104 R1 QTLs in 18 crosses in SoyBase and 26 out of 139 QTLs in a nested association mapping population, while the rest 29 QTLs were novel ones. From the QTL system, 52 candidate genes were annotated, including the verified gene E1, E2, E9 and J, and grouped into 3 categories of biological processes, among which 24 genes were enriched into three protein-protein interaction networks, suggesting gene networks working together. Since NJRIKY involves only MGII and MGV, the QTL/gene system among MG000-MGX should be explored further.

Abstract
Manipulating the genetic control of plant height is essential in soybean breeding to increase yield through the enlargement of the plant size while preventing lodging. A Japanese soybean germplasm, Y2, has distinctively shorter inter-node lengths than those of recently developed Japanese cultivars and is expected to provide new variation to prevent lodging. A quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for plant height-related traits was conducted using F2 individuals derived from a cross between the elite Japanese cultivar Fukuyutaka and Y2. A major QTL for average inter-node length (AIL) and plant height was identified on chromosome 13 and named qSI13-1 (QTL for short inter-node on chromosome 13). The Y2 allele of qSI13-1 was partially dominant for plant height. qSI13-1 exhibited no effect on either days to flowering or number of main stem nodes. The AILs and plant heights of the near-isogenic lines containing the Y2 allele of qSI13-1 in the genetic background of Fukuyutaka were significantly less than those of Fukuyutaka. No significant differences between the near-isogenic lines and Fukuyutaka were observed for seed yield and flowering date, indicating that qSI13-1 will be useful in developing cultivars with short plant heights without having negative effects on yield potential and days to flowering.

Abstract
Seed weight per plant (SWPP) of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), a complicated quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes, was positively associated with soybean seed yields. In the present study, a natural soybean population containing 185 diverse accessions primarily from China was used to analyze the genetic basis of SWPP via genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) based on high-throughput single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated by the Specific Locus Amplified Fragment Sequencing (SLAF-seq) method. A total of 33,149 SNPs were finally identified with minor allele frequencies (MAF) > 5% which were present in 97% of all the genotypes. Twenty association signals associated with SWPP were detected via GWAS. Among these signals, eight SNPs were novel loci, and the other twelve SNPs were overlapped or located in the linked genomic regions of the reported QTL from SoyBase database. Several genes belonging to the categories of hormone pathways, RNA regulation of transcription in plant development, ubiquitin, transporting systems, and other metabolisms were considered as candidate genes associated with SWPP. Furthermore, nine genes from the flanking region of Gm07:19488264, Gm08:15768591, Gm08:15768603, or Gm18:23052511 were significantly associated with SWPP and were stable among multiple environments. Nine out of 18 haplotypes from nine genes showed the effect of increasing SWPP. The identified loci along with the beneficial alleles and candidate genes could be of great value for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying SWPP and for improving the potential seed yield of soybean in the future.

Abstract
Soybean was domesticated in China and has become one of the most important oilseed crops. Due to bottlenecks in their introduction and dissemination, soybeans from different geographic areas exhibit extensive genetic diversity. Asia is the largest soybean market; therefore, a high-quality soybean reference genome from this area is critical for soybean research and breeding. Here, we report the de novo assembly and sequence analysis of a Chinese soybean genome for "Zhonghuang 13" by a combination of SMRT, Hi-C and optical mapping data. The assembled genome size is 1.025 Gb with a contig N50 of 3.46 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 51.87 Mb. Comparisons between this genome and the previously reported reference genome (cv. Williams 82) uncovered more than 250,000 structure variations. A total of 52,051 protein coding genes and 36,429 transposable elements were annotated for this genome, and a gene co-expression network including 39,967 genes was also established. This high quality Chinese soybean genome and its sequence analysis will provide valuable information for soybean improvement in the future.

Abstract
Soybean was domesticated about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago in China. Although genotyping technologies such as genotyping by sequencing (GBS) and high-density array are available, it is convenient and economical to genotype cultivars or populations using medium-density SNP array in genetic study as well as in molecular breeding. In this study, 235 cultivars, collected from China, Japan, USA, Canada and some other countries, were genotyped using SoySNP8k iSelect BeadChip with 7,189 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In total, 4,471 polymorphic SNP markers were used to analyze population structure and perform genome-wide association study (GWAS). The most likely K value was 7, indicating this population can be divided into 7 subpopulations, which is well in accordance with the geographic origins of cultivars or accession studied. The LD decay rate was estimated at 184 kb, where r2 dropped to half of its maximum value (0.205). GWAS using FarmCPU detected a stable quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) for hilum color and seed color, which is consistent with the known loci or genes. Although no universal QTNs for flowering time and maturity were identified across all environments, a total of 30 consistent QTNs were detected for flowering time (R1) or maturity (R7 and R8) on 16 chromosomes, most of them were corresponding to known E1 to E4 genes or QTL region reported in SoyBase (soybase.org). Of 16 consistent QTNs for protein and oil contents, 11 QTNs were detected having antagonistic effects on protein and oil content, while 4 QTNs soly for oil content, and one QTN soly for protein content. The information gained in this study demonstrated that the usefulness of the medium-density SNP array in genotyping for genetic study and molecular breeding.

Abstract
Pod number is an important factor that influences yield in soybean. Here, we used two associated recombinant inbred line (RIL) soybean populations, RIL3613 (containing 134 lines derived from Dongnong L13 × Heihe 36) and RIL6013 (composed of 156 individuals from Dongnong L13 × Henong 60), to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulating the vertical distribution and quantity of seeds and seed pods. The numbers of pods were quantified in the upper, middle, and lower sections of the plant, as well as in the plants as a whole, and QTLs regulating these spatial traits were mapped using an inclusive complete interval mapping method. A total of 21 and 26 QTLs controlling pod-number-related traits were detected in RIL3613 and RIL6013, respectively, which explained 1.25-11.6698% and 0.0001-7.91% of the phenotypic variation. A total of 34 QTLs were verified by comparison with previous research, were identified in both populations, or were found to regulate multiple traits, indicating their authenticity. These results enhance our understanding of the vertical distribution of pod-number-related traits and support molecular breeding for seed yield.

Development of a high-density linkage map and chromosome segment substitution lines for Japanese soybean cultivar Enrei. DNA Res 2018; 25:123-136.

Abstract
Using progeny of a cross between Japanese soybean Enrei and Chinese soybean Peking, we developed a high-density linkage map and chromosomal segment substitution lines (CSSLs). The map consists of 2,177 markers with polymorphism information for 32 accessions and provides a detailed genetic framework for these markers. The marker order on the linkage map revealed close agreement with that on the chromosome-scale assembly, Wm82.a2.v1. The differences, especially on Chr. 5 and Chr. 11, in the present map provides information to identify regions in the genome assembly where additional information is required to resolve marker order and assign remaining scaffolds. To cover the entire soybean genome, we used 999 BC3F2 backcross plants and selected 103 CSSLs carrying chromosomal segments from Peking in the genetic background of Enrei. Using these low-genetic-complexity resources, we dissected variation in traits related to flowering, maturity and yield into approximately 50 reproducible quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and evaluated QTLs with small genetic effects as single genetic factors in a uniform genetic background. CSSLs developed in this study may be good starting material for removing the unfavourable characteristics of Peking during pre-breeding and for isolation of genes conferring disease and stress resistance that have not yet been characterized.

Abstract
The common cutworm (CCW; Spodoptera litura Fabricius) is a serious herbivorous insect pest of soybean (Glycine max) in Asia and Oceania. Previously, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for CCW-antibiosis-resistance, CCW-1 and CCW-2, and antixenosis-resistance, qRslx1 and qRslx2, in the cultivar 'Himeshirazu'. The effects of these QTLs are useful in the breeding of CCW-resistant cultivars. In this study, we conducted an antixenosis bioassay on CCW using recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between a wild soybean (Glycine soja) and the leading cultivar 'Fukuyutaka' to identify CCW-resistance genes in G. soja. The QTL analysis revealed six and four novel antixenosis-resistance QTLs in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Among them, the QTLs on chromosomes 2 and 7, designated qRslx4 and qRslx3, respectively, were stably detected in both years. qRslx3 exhibited the largest effect in both years, suggesting that qRslx3 can be exploited in the breeding of CCW-resistant soybean. Furthermore, qRslx3 and qRslx4 can be used, along with previously reported QTLs from 'Himeshirazu', to enhance the CCW-resistance of soybean cultivars because their chromosomal positions are unique. These new CCW-resistance QTLs from G. soja should play important roles in the breeding of CCW-resistant soybean cultivars.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE The RTM-GWAS was chosen among five procedures to identify DTF QTL-allele constitution in a soybean NAM population; 139 QTLs with 496 alleles accounting for 81.7% of phenotypic variance were detected. Flowering date (days to flowering, DTF) is an ecological trait in soybean, closely related to its ability to adapt to areas. A nested association mapping (NAM) population consisting of four RIL populations (LM, ZM, MT and MW with M8206 as their common parent) was established and tested for their DTF under five environments. Using restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing the population was genotyped with SNP markers. The restricted two-stage multi-locus (RTM) genome-wide association study (GWAS) (RTM-GWAS) with SNP linkage disequilibrium block (SNPLDB) as multi-allele genomic markers performed the best among the five mapping procedures with software publicly available. It identified the greatest number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) (139) and alleles (496) on 20 chromosomes covering almost all of the QTLs detected by four other mapping procedures. The RTM-GWAS provided the detected QTLs with highest genetic contribution but without overflowing and missing heritability problems (81.7% genetic contribution vs. heritability of 97.6%), while SNPLDB markers matched the NAM population property of multiple alleles per locus. The 139 QTLs with 496 alleles were organized into a QTL-allele matrix, showing the corresponding DTF genetic architecture of the five parents and the NAM population. All lines and parents comprised both positive and negative alleles, implying a great potential of recombination for early and late DTF improvement. From the detected QTL-allele system, 126 candidate genes were annotated and χ 2 tested as a DTF candidate gene system involving nine biological processes, indicating the trait a complex, involving several biological processes rather than only a handful of major genes.

Accessions Revealed by High-Density SNPs. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2017; 8:2014. [PMID: 29250088 PMCID: PMC5715234 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2017.02014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2017] [Accepted: 11/13/2017] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Soybean is one of the most important economic crops for both China and the United States (US). The exchange of germplasm between these two countries has long been active. In order to investigate genetic relationships between Chinese and US soybean germplasm, 277 Chinese soybean accessions and 300 US soybean accessions from geographically diverse regions were analyzed using 5,361 SNP markers. The genetic diversity and the polymorphism information content (PIC) of the Chinese accessions was higher than that of the US accessions. Population structure analysis, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis all showed that the genetic basis of Chinese soybeans is distinct from that of the USA. The groupings observed in clustering analysis reflected the geographical origins of the accessions; this conclusion was validated with both genetic distance analysis and relative kinship analysis. FST-based and EigenGWAS statistical analysis revealed high genetic variation between the two subpopulations. Analysis of the 10 loci with the strongest selection signals showed that many loci were located in chromosome regions that have previously been identified as quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with environmental-adaptation-related and yield-related traits. The pattern of diversity among the American and Chinese accessions should help breeders to select appropriate parental accessions to enhance the performance of future soybean cultivars.

A Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism in an Endo-1,4-β-Glucanase Gene Controls Seed Coat Permeability in Soybean. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0128527. [PMID: 26039079 PMCID: PMC4454576 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0128527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2015] [Accepted: 04/28/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Physical dormancy, a structural feature of the seed coat known as hard seededness, is an important characteristic for adaptation of plants against unstable and unpredictable environments. To dissect the molecular basis of qHS1, a quantitative trait locus for hard seededness in soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr.), we developed a near-isogenic line (NIL) of a permeable (soft-seeded) cultivar, Tachinagaha, containing a hard-seed allele from wild soybean (G. soja) introduced by successive backcrossings. The hard-seed allele made the seed coat of Tachinagaha more rigid by increasing the amount of β-1,4-glucans in the outer layer of palisade cells of the seed coat on the dorsal side of seeds, known to be a point of entrance of water. Fine-mapping and subsequent expression and sequencing analyses revealed that qHS1 encodes an endo-1,4-β-glucanase. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) introduced an amino acid substitution in a substrate-binding cleft of the enzyme, possibly reducing or eliminating its affinity for substrates in permeable cultivars. Introduction of the genomic region of qHS1 from the impermeable (hard-seeded) NIL into the permeable cultivar Kariyutaka resulted in accumulation of β-1,4-glucan in the outer layer of palisade cells and production of hard seeds. The SNP allele found in the NIL was further associated with the occurrence of hard seeds in soybean cultivars of various origins. The findings of this and previous studies may indicate that qHS1 is involved in the accumulation of β-1,4-glucan derivatives such as xyloglucan and/or β-(1,3)(1,4)-glucan that reinforce the impermeability of seed coats in soybean.

Heterosis and combining ability estimates in isoflavone content using different parental soybean accessions: wild soybean, a valuable germplasm for soybean breeding. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0114827. [PMID: 25607952 PMCID: PMC4301644 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0114827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2014] [Accepted: 11/14/2014] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Isoflavone, a group of secondary metabolites in soybean, is beneficial to human health. Improving isoflavone content in soybean seeds has become one of the most important breeding objectives. However, the narrow genetic base of soybean cultivars hampered crop improvement. Wild soybean is an extraordinarily important gene pool for soybean breeding. In order to select an optimal germplasm for breeding programs to increase isoflavone concentration, 36 F1 soybean progenies from different parental accessions (cultivars, wild, Semi-wild and Interspecific) with various total isoflavone (TIF) concentration (High, Middle, Low) were analyzed for their isoflavone content. Results showed that male parents, except for Cultivars, showed positive GCA effects. In particular, wild soybean had higher positive GCA effects for TIF concentration. Both MP and BP heterosis value declined in the hybrid in which male parents were wild soybean, semi-wild soybean, interspecific offspring and cultivar in turn. In general, combining ability and heterosis in hybrids which had relative higher TIF concentration level parents showed better performance than those which had lower TIF concentration level parents. These results indicated characteristics of isoflavone content were mainly governed by additive type of gene action, and wild relatives could be utilized for breeding of soybean cultivars with this trait. A promising combination was found as the best potential hybrid for isoflavone content improvement.
