The miR172a-ERF416/413 module regulates soybean seed traits. [PDF]
The microRNA miR172a cleaves transcripts of the transcription factor genes ERF416 and ERF413. ERF416 and ERF413 affect seed size/weight by regulating genes encoding a regulator of cell proliferation and a sugar transporter. ERF416 haplotypes correlate with seed weight and total seed lipids, providing information for breeding high‐oil high‐yield soybean

Development of SNP Genotyping Assays for Seed Composition Traits in Soybean. [PDF]
Seed composition is one of the most important determinants of the economic values in soybean. The quality and quantity of different seed components, such as oil, protein, and carbohydrates, are crucial ingredients in food, feed, and numerous industrial products.

Abstract Soybean accounts for over a quarter of the world's oilseed consumption and over 70% of the world's protein meal consumption. The separate development of high oleic, low linolenic acid (HOLL) soybean and high‐protein (HP) soybean means that no soybean cultivar on the market has an optimal fatty acid profile and increased protein.

Diversity of fatty acid biosynthesis genes across the soybean pangenome
Abstract Soybean (Glycine max) is a major crop that contributes more than half of global oilseed production. Much research has been directed towards improvement of the fatty acid profile of soybean seeds through marker assisted breeding. Recently published soybean pangenomes, based on thousands of soybean lines, provide an opportunity to identify new ...

Yield and antiyield genes in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Abstract High yield is the primary criterion for the development of new cultivars at the University of Guelph common bean breeding program. As a complex trait, yield is encoded by a number of genes contributing minor effects while also being significantly affected by environmental factors.

Whole-Genome Identification of the Flax Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Family and Functional Analysis of the LuFAD2.1 Gene Under Cold Stress Conditions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Fatty acid desaturase (FAD) is essential for plant growth and development and plant defence response. Although flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important oil and fibre crop, but its FAD gene remains understudied. This study identified 43 LuFAD genes in the flax genome.

Breeding Strategy for Improvement of Omega-3 Fatty Acid through Conventional Breeding, Genetic Mapping, and Genomics in Soybean [PDF]
Plant-derived omega (ω)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid is an essential fatty acid in human and animal diets and is a precursor of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which exists as α-linolenic acid (ALA, ω-3) in plant oil.

Associação de marcadores moleculares SNP com o conteúdo de ácido linolênico em sementes de soja
O objetivo deste trabalho foi validar a associação de marcadores moleculares do tipo "single nucleotide polymorphism" (SNP) para os genes FAD3A, FAD3B e FAD3C com o conteúdo de ácido linolênico (18:3) em sementes de soja e analisar a influência dos ...

New sources of soybean seed meal and oil composition traits identified through TILLING [PDF]
Background Several techniques are available to study gene function, but many are less than ideal for soybean. Reverse genetics, a relatively new approach, can be utilized to identify novel mutations in candidate genes; this technique has not produced an ...

Genome-wide association study identifies candidate genes related to the linoleic acid content in soybean seeds [PDF]
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) oil is a complex mixture of five fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic). The high content of linoleic acid (LA) contributes to the oil having poor oxidative stability.
