Targets and strategies to design soybean seed composition traits. [PDF]
Abstract Breeders and geneticists have put great effort into enhancing soybean seed composition and developing elite varieties with desired traits. However, diverse end‐uses and changing consumer preferences present new challenges and opportunities to develop desired compositional profiles for the market.

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.

Expression of the Arabidopsis WRINKLED 1 transcription factor leads to higher accumulation of palmitate in soybean seed. [PDF]
Summary Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a commodity crop highly valued for its protein and oil content. The high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids in soybean oil results in low oxidative stability, which is a key parameter for usage in baking, high temperature frying applications, and affects shelf life of packaged products containing ...

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 ...

Soybean Oil‐Quality Variants Identified by Large‐Scale Mutagenesis
To identify genetic variation for fatty acid composition in mature soybean seeds, 4566 M3 generation seed samples from a chemically mutagenized population were subjected to fatty acid profiling by gas chromatography. In the population, a wide range of variation in the content for each of the five major fatty acids was observed.

Novel FAD3 Mutant Allele Combinations Produce Soybeans Containing 1% Linolenic Acid in the Seed Oil
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] oil typically contains about 7% of linolenic acid, an oxidatively unstable fatty acid that is undesirable for many food applications. For cooking oil, reduction of the linolenic acid content by partial hydrogenation produces trans fatty acids, which are now known to increase the risk of coronary heart disease.

Abstract Oil accounts for about 50% of the value of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. A changing marketplace demands soybean oil with reduced amounts of linoleic and linolenic acid to increase shelf‐life and with increased amount of oleic acid to compete with heart‐healthy oils. Meal accounts for the other half of the value of the crop.
