Yan, X., Zhao, H., Liu, X., Li, Q., Wang, Y., Yuan, C. and Dong, Y. 2014. Phenotypic traits and diversity of different leaf shape accessions of the wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.) in China. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 397–404. The phenotypic traits and diversity of different leaf shape groups of 6169 wild soybean accessions were investigated. The results included the following conclusions. First, the lanceolate leaf group had the highest genetic diversity. Second, the mean 100-seed weight was highest in the round leaf group (10.1 g); mean maturity time was longest in the eliptical leaf group (142 d); the ovate–round and linear leaf groups had higher mean protein content (45.7–46.1%); and the round leaf group had the highest oil content (16.3%). Finally, frequencies of white flower, high 100-seed weight and other traits in the round leaf group were disproportionately high; in contrast, linear leaf accessions were primarily characterized by purple flower and low 100-seed weight. Based on these results, we inferred that the lanceolate and linear leaves accessions tended to be wild types, while the round leaf group represented more recently evolved accessions. In addition, the accessions with eliptical, ovate–round and other leaves belonged to the intermediate evolutionary types. Our results also suggest that the abundant variation in leaf shape is an important indicator of level of genetic diversity and evolutionary status, which could facilitate the utilization of germplasm evaluation and classification for the wild soybean.

AbstractThe releasing of transgenic soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) into farming systems raises concerns that transgenes might escape from the soybeans via pollen into their endemic wild relatives, the wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.). The fitness of F1 hybrids obtained from 10 wild soybean populations collected from China and transgenic glyphosate-resistant soybean was measured without weed competition, as well as one JLBC-1 F1 hybrid under weed competition. All crossed seeds emerged at a lower rate from 13.33–63.33%. Compared with those of their wild progenitors, most F1 hybrids were shorter, smaller, and with decreased aboveground dry biomass, pod number, and 100-seed weight. All F1 hybrids had lower pollen viability and filled seeds per plant. Finally, the composite fitness of nine F1 hybrids was significantly lower. One exceptional F1 hybrid was IMBT F1, in which the composite fitness was 1.28, which was similar to that of its wild progenitor due to the similarities in pod number, increased aboveground dry biomass, and 100-seed weight. Under weed competition, plant height, aboveground dry biomass, pod number per plant, filled seed number per plant, and 100-seed weight of JLBC-1 F1 were lower than those of the wild progenitor JLBC-1. JLBC-1 F1 hybrids produced 60 filled seeds per plant. Therefore, F1 hybrids could emerge and produce offspring. Thus, effective measures should be taken to prevent gene flow from transgenic soybean to wild soybean to avoid the production F1 hybrids when releasing transgenic soybean in fields in the future.

100 Seed Weight

Seed weight can be an important component for soybean quality and yield. The objective of the present study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for 100-seed weight by using 169 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross Williams 82 × PI 366121. The parental lines and RILs were grown for four consecutive years (2012–15) in the field. The seeds were harvested after maturity, dried and used to measure 100-seed weight. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the RILs for 100-seed weight. The environment had significant effect on seed-weight expression as indicated by the genotype × environment interaction. QTL analysis employing inclusive composite interval mapping of additive QTLs implemented in QTL IciMapping (Version 4.1) identified nine QTLs (LOD >3) on chromosomes 1, 2, 6, 8, 13, 14, 17 and 20. The individual QTLs explained phenotypic variation in the range 6.1–12.4%. The QTLs were detected in one or two environments, indicating major influence of the growing environment on seed-weight expression. Four QTLs identified in this study, qSW-02_1, qSW-06_1, qSW-13_1 and qSW-14_1, were found to be new QTLs. The findings of the study may be helpful to reveal the molecular genetic basis of the seed-weight trait in soybean.

100 Seed Weight

Wild soybean germplasm is distributed widely in China, particularly in Heilongjiang Province. In this study, 242 wild soybean accessions from four agricultural divisions in Heilongjiang Province were evaluated based on six qualitative and eight quantitative traits. Results showed that a large amount of variation occurred in these evaluated traits. Abundant qualitative traits included the wild type (78.51%), purple flowers (90.50%), needle leaf (39.26%), black seed (83.88%), brown hilum (52.07%), and mud film (87.60). Results of multivariate analysis based on quantitative traits showed that 100-seed weight, seeds weight per plant, number of seeds per plant, number of effective pods, and number of invalid pods were significantly different among samples (p < 0.05). A total of 27 germplasms were screened. Cluster analysis identified the 242 accessions into two groups, not following the geographical distribution pattern, with rich wild soybean resources revealed in the northern site. The present study indicated that wild soybean in Heilongjiang Province should be conserved in situ. The rich genetic diversity revealed in soybeans of different sites in Heilongjiang Province suggested its significant potential utilization in genetic improvement and breakthrough for soybean breeding. This information will help to exploit and conserve wild soybean accessions in Heilongjiang Province.

The relatively low genomic variation of current U.S. soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merill] cultivars constrains the improvement of grain yield, seed quality, and other agronomic traits within soybean breeding programs. Recently, a substantial effort has been undertaken to introduce novel genetic diversity present in wild soybean (Glycine soja Siebold and Zucc.) into new elite cultivars, in both public and private applied soybean breeding programs. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the phenotypic diversity within a core collection of 80 G. soja plant introductions (PIs) in the United States Department of Agriculture National Genetic Resources Program that were collected in China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea, and to analyze the correlations between agronomic and seed composition traits. Field tests were conducted in Missouri and North Carolina during three years, 2013, 2014, and 2015, in a randomized complete block design (n=3). The phenotypic data collected included plant maturity date, seed weight, and the seed concentration of protein, oil, essential amino acid, fatty acid, and soluble carbohydrates. Analyzing the data from six environments, we found genotype was a significant (p less than 0.0001) source of variation for maturity date, seed weight, seed protein and amino acids, seed oil and fatty acids, and seed carbohydrates. Significant correlations were observed between numerous traits. The core collection had lower seed weight, higher seed content of protein, linolenic acid, raffinose and stachyose but lower seed content of oil and oleic acid than those of the cultivated soybean lines that were used as checks. The amino acid profile of the core collection was significantly different from that of the checks. An association analysis revealed 19 SNP that were significantly associated with maturity, seed weight, and seed contents of aspartic acid, glutamine, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. The information and data collected in this study will be invaluable in guiding soybean breeders and geneticists in selecting promising Glycine soja plant introductions for research and cultivar improvement. In addition the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with the contents of seed protein and oil, maturity, branching traits, height, lodging, and yield in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from one single F2 plant from the cross between Osage and PI593983 was carried out. The mapping population in this study included 164 F4:6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Osage, a cultivated soybean variety, and PI593983, a wild soybean accession. Field tests were carried out in Missouri for two years during 2016 and 2017, in a randomized complete block design (n=2). Both protein and oil contents showed high heritabilities. Seed protein and seed oil were negatively correlated (-0.77). A total of 4,374 polymorphic markers were used to construct a genetic linkage map, and nine QTLs for protein content, explained 7.6 to 36.7% of variance, and seven QTLs for oil content, explained for 7.8 to 29.7% of variance, were detected using composite interval mapping. addition we identified eight novel QTLs and confirmed sixteen QTLs associated with maturity (R2 = 6.4 to 26.3%), plant height (R2 = 7.4 to 15.5%), and total branch length (R2 = 9.3% and 14.5%) in individual and across environments, and the ratio of total branch length to plant height (R2 = 11.8%), yield (R2 =12.8 and 15.7), and lodging (R2 = 12.1 and 13.4) in individual studied environments. Sixteen QTLs for maturity, yield, and plant height confirmed previously reported QTLs, and eight QTLs have not been reported before. The results of this study will facilitate the identification of the causative genes for seed protein and oil, maturity, height, lodging, and branching traits, and will help soybean breeder improve soybean performance by developing markers for marker-assisted selection.

Abstract Soybean seeds contain high levels of oil and protein providing 69% and 57% of dietary protein and oil respectively. Although many quantitative trait loci for 100-seed weight (100SW), protein content (PRC) and oil content (OIC) have been reported, their genetic controls in soybeans remain unclear. The QTL–allele constitution of three traits in the Sichuan and Chongqing eco-regions population (SCLBP) was studied using a representative sample composed of 228 accessions tested under four environments and analyzed based on 135 SSR and 107081 valid SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism linkage) markers. The varied range of 100SW, PRC and OIC of SCLBP were 4.82-33.35, 36.47-49.75 and 14.68-21.77 among accessions, respectively. The heritability (h2) and genetic coefficient of variation (GCV) of three traits were high. As a result, 26, 33 and 31 QTLs were found by SSR to be associated with 100SW, PRC and OIC, respectively. The allele of Sat_260 for 100SW was detected in 4 environments. In addition, 28, 198 and 250 loci for 100SW, PRC and OIC were found by SNP using mixed linear model (MLM), respectively. Further SNP haplotype analysis showed that 13, 35 and 60 blocks for 100SW, RPC and OIC were found. The block of Gm11_9895764-9917646 for 100SW was simultaneously detected in four environments. Among these QTLs, 1, 5, and 7 for 100SW, PRC and OIC were found by two methods of SSR and SNP at the same time. A majority of these QTLs overlapped with the previously reported loci. However, 9, 11 and 9 loci for 100SW, PRC and OIC using SSR and 3, 5 and 8 for 100SW, PRC and OIC haven’t been reported using SNP in the study, respectively. Moreover, the genes of Glyma.11g130800, Glyma.13g217000 and Glyma.08g122600 were considered to be the most likely genes controlling 100SW, PRC and OIC, respectively. Our findings provide evidence for mixed major plus polygenes inheritance for three traits and an extended understanding of their genetic architecture for molecular dissection and breeding utilization in soybeans.

The study of the effect of three well known mutagens, ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS), methyl methane sulphonate (MMS) and gamma rays (GR) on the yield contributing traits of the urdbean variety TPU-4 were carried out in the M3 generation. Effect of selected mutagenic treatments/doses of EMS (0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 M), MMS (0.0025, 0.05 and 0.01 M) and (GR) (30, 40 and 50 KR) on different yield contributing traits like plant height, plant spread, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, seed yield per plant and 100 seed weight were analyzed in the M3 populations of the variety TPU-4. Seeds of M2 plants and control were harvested separately and sown to raise M3 population.. Genetic variabilty in the mutagen administered M3 progeny of the urdbean variety TPU-4 was analyzed by employing statistical methods. Data on mean values and shift in the mean of seven quantitative traits was evaluated on individual plant basis. The experimental findings revealed that concentrations / dose of the all these mutagens showed inhibitory effect on plant height, number of pods per plant, pod length and number of seeds per pod. Lower concentrations of mutagens exerted a promotory effect on plant spread, 100 seed weight and seed yield per plant while higher concentrations of these mutagens inhibited them to different extent.

The enzyme flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H) plays an important role in producing anthocyanin pigments in soybean. Loss of function of the W1 locus encoding F3′5′H always produces white flowers. However, few color variations have been reported in wild soybean. In the present study, we isolated a new color variant of wild soybean accession (IT261811) with pinkish-white flowers. We found that the flower’s pinkish-white color is caused by w1-s3, a single recessive allele of W1. The SNP detected in the mutant caused amino acid substitution (A304S) in a highly conserved SRS4 domain of F3′5′H proteins. On the basis of the results of the protein variation effect analyzer (PROVEAN) tool, we suggest that this mutation may lead to hypofunctional F3′5′H activity rather than non-functional activity, which thereby results in its pinkish-white color.

Abstract The present investigation was carried out to evaluate agronomic performance and oil quality of seven sunflower genotypes at Shandaweel Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, Sohag, Egypt during 2018 and 2019 summer seasons. These genetic materials were sown in a randomized complete block design having three replications. Significant genetic variations among evaluated sunflower genotypes for agronomic traits and oil quality were observed. The superior sunflower genotypes were Line 120 for seed yield per hectare (3102.38 kg), Sakha 53 for seed oil content (44.63 %) and Line 125 for oil quality where it contained the highest proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (89.20 %). The phenotypic coefficients of variation were slightly higher than genotypic coefficients of variation for all studied traits. High heritability (exceeded 60%) and genetic advance as percent of mean (ranged from medium to high, exceeded 10%) was observed for most studied traits. Seed yield per plant positively correlated with plant height, stem diameter, head diameter, and 100-seed weight and most chemical traits at phenotypic and genotypic levels. Maximum phenotypic direct effects on seed yield per plant were observed for 100-seed weight, head diameter and total unsaturated fatty acids. While, the highest genotypic direct effect on seed yield per plant was observed for head diameter. Hence, most studied traits could be employed as selection criteria for improving evaluated sunflower genotypes.
