Genetics and mapping of seed coat impermeability in soybean using inter-specific populations.

ABSTRACT: Seed coat impermeability (SCI) in soybean is associated with seed viability under storage and quality of processed products. Understanding genetics and identification of linked molecular markers would facilitate need-based utilization of seed coat impermeability. Two impermeable wild type (G. soja Sieb. and Zucc.) accessions viz. PI 424079 and PI 136620 were crossed with a permeable cultivated (G. max) variety JS335 to generate the mapping populations. Genetic analysis of the F_1:2 and F_2:3 seeds of the crosses indicated that SCI is controlled by a single gene/major QTL, and impermeability is dominant over permeability. Presence of seeds with intermediate permeability indicated role of some minor genes/QTLs. A set of 204 inter-specific recombinant inbred line (RILs) (F₇) was used to map SCI with 207 SSR markers. Phenotyping through rapid imbibition approach (seed imbibition for 6 h), seven QTLs were mapped on chromosomes (Chrs.) 2, 5, 12, 13 and 16 in the seeds stored for 1-3 years, while through slow imbibition method (seed imbibition for 7 days), five QTLs were mapped on Chrs. 2, 9, 10 and 20. Phenotypic variation explained (PVE) by the QTLs ranged from 5.96 to 39.67%. Two major and stable QTLs viz., qScI-h2-1 and qScI-h2-2 that mapped in tandem on Chr.2 jointly explained 43.09-62.92% of the variations in impermeability. Seven minor QTLs identified here were novel and two (qScI-h5, and qScI-h16) were consistent. It is the first report of mapping impermeability using two imbibition approaches together in 200 plus inter-specific RILs in soybean. The study will pave the way for developing genotypes with restricted permeability, enhanced seed viability, and improved seeds quality.

Transcriptional Profile of Soybean Seeds with Contrasting Seed Coat Color.

Project description:Soybean is the primary source of vegetable protein and is used for various purposes, mainly to feed animals. This crop can have diverse seed coat colors, varying from yellow, black, brown, and green to bicolor. Black seed coat cultivars have already been assigned as favorable for both seed and grain production. Thus, this work aimed to identify genes associated with soybean seed quality by comparing the transcriptomes of soybean seeds with contrasting seed coat colors. The results from RNA-seq analyses were validated with real-time PCR using the cultivar BRS 715A (black seed coat) and the cultivars BRS 413 RR and DM 6563 IPRO (yellow seed coat). We found 318 genes differentially expressed in all cultivars (freshly harvested seeds and seeds stored in cold chamber). From the in silico analysis of the transcriptomes, the following genes were selected and validated with RT-qPCR: ACS1, ACSF3, CYP90A1, CYP710A1, HCT, CBL, and SAHH. These genes are genes induced in the black seed coat cultivar and are part of pathways responsible for ethylene, lipid, brassinosteroid, lignin, and sulfur amino acid biosynthesis. The BRSMG 715A gene has almost 4times more lignin than the yellow seed coat cultivars. These attributes are related to the BRSMG 715A cultivar's higher seed quality, which translates to more longevity and resistance to moisture and mechanical damage. Future silencing studies may evaluate the knockout of these genes to better understand the biology of soybean seeds with black seed coat.

Identification and Validation of Loci Governing Seed Coat Color by Combining Association Mapping and Bulk Segregation Analysis in Soybean.

Project description:Soybean seed coat exists in a range of colors from yellow, green, brown, black, to bicolor. Classical genetic analysis suggested that soybean seed color was a moderately complex trait controlled by multi-loci. However, only a couple of loci could be detected using a single biparental segregating population. In this study, a combination of association mapping and bulk segregation analysis was employed to identify genes/loci governing this trait in soybean. A total of 14 loci, including nine novel and five previously reported ones, were identified using 176,065 coding SNPs selected from entire SNP dataset among 56 soybean accessions. Four of these loci were confirmed and further mapped using a biparental population developed from the cross between ZP95-5383 (yellow seed color) and NY279 (brown seed color), in which different seed coat colors were further dissected into simple trait pairs (green/yellow, green/black, green/brown, yellow/black, yellow/brown, and black/brown) by continuously developing residual heterozygous lines. By genotyping entire F2 population using flanking markers located in fine-mapping regions, the genetic basis of seed coat color was fully dissected and these four loci could explain all variations of seed colors in this population. These findings will be useful for map-based cloning of genes as well as marker-assisted breeding in soybean. This work also provides an alternative strategy for systematically isolating genes controlling relative complex trait by association analysis followed by biparental mapping.

Evaluation of diverse soybean genotypes for seed longevity and its association with seed coat colour.

Project description:Sixty genotypes with different seed coat colour and seed sizes were evaluated for seed longevity under both natural and accelerated ageing over seasons. The genotypes were grown during rabi, 2018, and summer, 2021, and freshly harvested seeds were used. For natural ageing, seeds were stored in a cloth bag in ambient condition and were removed at bimonthly intervals till 20 months. Accelerated ageing was carried out as per International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) guidelines. The germination percentage after natural and accelerated ageing over two seasons was determined. The correlation between two seasons of accelerated ageing and month-wise natural ageing was highly significant. The principal component analysis (PCA) using seed longevity grouped the majority of black genotypes into a separate cluster. Higher seed longevity was associated with black seed coat colour and small seed size. Microsatellite marker-based clustering also produced a separate cluster for majority of black genotypes and grouped the genotypes into a large number of clusters suggesting high diversity in the plant material. Two black seed coat colour genotypes, ACC No.369 and ACC No.39 consistently showed higher longevity under natural and both the years of accelerated ageing and serve as a source of alleles for higher seed longevity in soybean.

A major gene for tolerance to cold-induced seed coat discoloration relieves viral seed mottling in soybean.

Project description:In yellow soybeans, inhibition of seed coat pigmentation by RNA silencing of CHS genes is suppressed by low temperature and a viral suppressor, resulting in 'cold-induced seed coat discoloration' and 'seed mottling', respectively. Differences exist in the degree of cold-induced seed coat discoloration among Japanese yellow soybean cultivars; for example, Toyomusume is sensitive, Toyohomare has some tolerance, and Toyoharuka is highly tolerant. In this study, we compared the degree of seed mottling severity due to soybean mosaic virus (SMV) among these three soybean cultivars. Obvious differences were found, with the order of severity as follows: Toyohomare > Toyomusume > Toyoharuka. RNA gel blot analysis indicated that CHS transcript abundance in the seed coat, which was increased by SMV infection, was responsible for the severity of seed mottling. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR analysis revealed why mottling was most severe in SMV-infected Toyohomare: the SMV titer in its seed coat was higher than in the other two infected cultivars. We further suggest that a major gene (Ic) for tolerance to cold-induced seed coat discoloration can relieve the severity of seed mottling in SMV-infected Toyoharuka.

Genetic mapping and functional genomics of soybean seed protein.

Project description:Soybean is an utterly important crop for high-quality meal protein and vegetative oil. Soybean seed protein content has become a key factor in nutrients for livestock feed as well as human dietary consumption. Genetic improvement of soybean seed protein is highly desired to meet the demands of rapidly growing world population. Molecular mapping and genomic analysis in soybean have identified many quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying seed protein content control. Exploring the mechanisms of seed storage protein regulation will be helpful to achieve the improvement of protein content. However, the practice of breeding higher protein soybean is challenging because soybean seed protein is negatively correlated with seed oil content and yield. To overcome the limitation of such inverse relationship, deeper insights into the property and genetic control of seed protein are required. Recent advances of soybean genomics have strongly enhanced the understandings for molecular mechanisms of soybean with better seed quality. Here, we review the research progress in the genetic characteristics of soybean storage protein, and up-to-date advances of molecular mappings and genomics of soybean protein. The key factors underlying the mechanisms of the negative correlation between protein and oil in soybean seeds are elaborated. We also briefly discuss the future prospects of breaking the bottleneck of the negative correlation to develop high protein soybean without penalty of oil and yield.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11032-023-01373-5.

Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci for Soybean Seedling Shoot and Root Architecture Traits in an Inter-Specific Genetic Population.

Project description:Wild soybean species (Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc.) comprise a unique resource to widen the genetic base of cultivated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] for various agronomic traits. An inter-specific mapping population derived from a cross of cultivar Williams 82 and PI 483460B, a wild soybean accession, was utilized for genetic characterization of root architecture traits. The objectives of this study were to identify and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTL) for seedling shoot and root architecture traits, as well as to determine additive/epistatic interaction effects of identified QTLs. A total of 16,469 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) developed for the Illumina beadchip genotyping platform were used to construct a high resolution genetic linkage map. Among the 11 putative QTLs identified, two significant QTLs on chromosome 7 were determined to be associated with total root length (RL) and root surface area (RSA) with favorable alleles from the wild soybean parent. These seedling root traits, RL (BARC_020495_04641 ~ BARC_023101_03769) and RSA (SNP02285 ~ SNP18129_Magellan), could be potential targets for introgression into cultivated soybean background to improve both tap and lateral roots. The RL QTL region harbors four candidate genes with higher expression in root tissues: Phosphofructokinase (Glyma.07g126400), Snf7 protein (Glyma.07g127300), unknown functional gene (Glyma.07g127900), and Leucine Rich-Repeat protein (Glyma.07g127100). The novel alleles inherited from the wild soybean accession could be used as molecular markers to improve root system architecture and productivity in elite soybean lines.

A QTL associated with high seed coat cracking rate of a leading Japanese soybean variety.

Project description:Seed coat cracking in soybeans [Glycine max (L). Merr.] leads to commercial and agronomic losses. The Japanese elite soybean cultivar 'Fukuyutaka' is often used as a parent for breeding, but its high rate of seed coat cracking is an obstacle to its further use in breeding programs. To establish a DNA marker-assisted selection system for seed coat cracking, genetic factors related to high rates of seed coat cracking were surveyed, and a quantitative trait locus (QTL) with a stable effect on seed coat cracking in both years of a two-year replication experiment was detected on chromosome 20. Comparison of a set of near-isogenic lines (NILs) around this locus verified that the presence of the 'Fukuyutaka' allele significantly increased seed coat cracking in the kernel. The locus is located in a genomic region spanning 3.2 Mb. Marker-assisted selection for the locus will improve the selection efficiency of 'Fukuyutaka'-derived breeding populations.

Origin, Maturity Group and Seed Coat Color Influence Carotenoid and Chlorophyll Concentrations in Soybean Seeds.

Project description:Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) seeds are abundant in physiologically active metabolites, including carotenoids and chlorophylls, and are used as an affordable source of functional foods that promote and maintain human health. The distribution and variation of soybean seed metabolites are influenced by plant genetic characteristics and environmental factors. Here, we investigated the effects of germplasm origin, genotype, seed coat color and maturity group (MG) on the concentration variation of carotenoid and chlorophyll components in 408 soybean germplasm accessions collected from China, Japan, the USA and Russia. The results showed that genotype, germplasm origin, seed color, and MG were significant variation sources of carotenoid and chlorophyll contents in soybean seeds. The total carotenoids showed about a 25-fold variation among the soybean germplasms, with an overall mean of 12.04 µg g-1. Russian soybeans yielded 1.3-fold higher total carotenoids compared with Chinese and Japanese soybeans. Similarly, the total chlorophylls were substantially increased in Russian soybeans compared to the others. Soybeans with black seed coat color contained abundant concentrations of carotenoids, with mainly lutein (19.98 µg g-1), β-carotene (0.64 µg g-1) and total carotenoids (21.04 µg g-1). Concentrations of lutein, total carotenoids and chlorophylls generally decreased in late MG soybeans. Overall, our results demonstrate that soybean is an excellent dietary source of carotenoids, which strongly depend on genetic factors, germplasm origin, MG and seed coat color. Thus, this study suggests that soybean breeders should consider these factors along with environmental factors in developing carotenoid-rich cultivars and related functional food resources.
