The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer is a major environmental issue and has increased the dosage of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. Organisms are negatively affected by enhanced UV-B radiation, and especially in crop plants this may lead to severe yield losses. Soybean (Glycine max L.), a major legume crop, is sensitive to UV-B radiation, and therefore, it is required to breed the UV-B-resistant soybean cultivar. In this study, 688 soybean germplasms were phenotyped for two categories, Damage of Leaf Chlorosis (DLC) and Damage of Leaf Shape (DLS), after supplementary UV-B irradiation for 14 days. About 5% of the germplasms showed strong UV-B resistance, and GCS731 was the most resistant genotype. Their phenotypic distributions showed similar patterns to the normal, suggesting UV-B resistance as a quantitative trait governed by polygenes. A total of 688 soybean germplasms were genotyped using the Axiom® Soya 180K SNP array, and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify SNPs significantly associated with the two traits, DLC and DLS. Five peaks on chromosomes 2, 6, 10, and 11 were significantly associated with either DLC or DLS, and the five adjacent genes were selected as candidate genes responsible for UV-B resistance. Among those candidate genes, Glyma.02g017500 and Glyma.06g103200 encode cryptochrome (CRY) and cryptochrome 1 (CRY1), respectively, and are known to play a role in DNA repair during photoreactivation. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) results revealed that CRY1 was expressed significantly higher in the UV-B-resistant soybean compared to the susceptible soybean after 6 h of UV-B irradiation. This study is the first GWAS report on UV-B resistance in soybean, and the results will provide valuable information for breeding UV-B-resistant soybeans in preparation for climate change.

Abstract Background The hundred seed weight (HSW) was one of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] yield components, and was also especially critical for various soybean food types. In this study, a representative sample consisted of 185 accessions, selected from Northeast China, was tested under six tested environments for determination of quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) of HSW through genome-wide association study (GWAS). Result A total of 24,180 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequency more than 0.2 and missing data less than 3% were utilized to the estimate linkage disequilibrium (LD) level in the tested association panel. Thirty-four association signals were identified to be associated with HSW via GWAS. Among them, nineteen QTN were the novel and another fifteen QTN were overlapped or located near the genomic regions of known HSW QTL. A total of 237 genes, derived from 31 QTN, located near peak SNP for six tested environments, were considered as candidate genes, such as plant growing regulation, hormone metabolism, cell, RNA, protein metabolism, development, starch accumulation, secondary metabolism, signaling, and TCA, some of which have been found to participant 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 the candidate genes might be valuable for the molecular network and MAS of HSW.

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.

The legume seed coat is the site of sucrose unloading and the metabolism of imported ureides and synthesis of amino acids for the developing embryo. The cell types directly responsible for these functions in the seed coat are not known. We recently described a convex layer of tissue on the inside surface of the soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seed coat that was termed “antipit” because it was in direct opposition to the concave pit on the abaxial surface of the cotyledon. Cone cells of the antipit contained numerous hypertrophied Golgi apparatus and laminated rough endoplasmic reticulum common to actively secreting cells. The initial report by Dzikowski (1936) described the morphology of the pit and antipit in G. max and found these structures in only 68 of the 169 seed accessions examined.
