Project description:Soybean fast neutron mutant lines were maintained to an advanced generation (ranging between approximately M6 and M11) and compared to their wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify sequence deletions and duplications in the mutant plants.
Project description:One short trichome mutant (family known by multiple names, including R59C46, FN0175946, and FNMN0409) was identified in a soybean fast neutron population (known as VP02 in Bolon et al. 2011). An advanced line of this mutant was compared to its wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify the causative region/gene associated with the short trichome phenotype.
Project description:Ten mutants with altered seed composition traits were identified in a soybean fast neutron population (Bolon et al. 2014). These mutant lines were maintained to an advanced generation (ranging between M5 and M9) and compared to their wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify the causative region/gene associated with the seed composition changes.
Project description:Two high-sucrose/low-oil mutants (FN0176450/2012CM7F040P06/SRX826343 and FN0176450/2012CM7F040P05/SRX826351) were identified in a soybean fast neutron population (Bolon et al. 2014). These mutant lines were then advanced to the M3:7 generation and compared to thier wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify the causative region/gene associated with high-sucrose/low-oil.
Project description:Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a secondary air pollutant and anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Concentrations of tropospheric O3 have more than doubled since the Industrial Revolution, and are high enough to damage plant productivity. Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is the worldâs most important legume crop and is sensitive to O3. Current ground-level O3 are estimated to reduce global soybean yields by 6% to 16%. In order to understand transcriptional mechanisms of yield loss in soybean, we examined the transcriptome of soybean flower and pod tissues exposed to elevated O3 using RNA-Sequencing.
Project description:RNA-seq Data of Low Phytic Acid Soybean Mutant Lines and Wild-Type Parental Variety Across Different Developmental Stages and Seasons
Project description:RNA-seq was used to characterize gene expression in soybean from a wide range of tissues. The primary focus of the project was small RNAs, and the identification of microRNAs and phased siRNA-generating loci, but RNA-seq data were generated from the same samples. This project was supported by the United Soybean Board.
