Download or read book Genetic Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci Conditioning Protein Concentration and Quality and Other Seed Characteristics in Soybean Glycine Max L Merrill written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is grown for its high oil and protein concentration, which may be used in a wide array of industries throughout the world. It contributes about 15 billion dollars annually to the US economy. Focusing on protein concentration and quality, I was interested to discover genomic regions as quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with nitrogen accumulation during reproductive stages, protein concentration, storage protein fractions, amino acid composition, seed size, oil content, and agronomic traits. A population of 101 F6-derived recombinant inbred lines (RIL) created from a cross of N87-984-16 x TN93-99 were used to achieve these objectives. Experiments were conducted in six environments during 2002 and 2003. A significant (P

Book Quantitative Trait Loci for Soybean Seed Yield in Elite and Plant Introduction Germplasm

Download or read book Quantitative Trait Loci for Soybean Seed Yield in Elite and Plant Introduction Germplasm written by Matthew David Smalley and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic improvement for yield in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] has been accomplished by breeding within a narrow elite gene pool. Plant introductions (PIs) may be useful for obtaining additional increases in yield if unique and desirable alleles at quantitative trait loci (QTL) can be identified. The objectives of the study were to identify QTL for yield in elite and PI germplasm and to determine if the PIs possessed favorable alleles for yield. Allele frequencies were measured with simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in three populations that differed in their percentage of PI parentage. AP10 had 40 PI parents, AP12 had 40 PI and 40 elite parents, and AP14 had 40 elite parents. Four cycles of recurrent selection for yield had been conducted in the three populations. Nei's genetic distance indicated that AP10, AP12, and AP14 remained distinct through cycle 4 (C4), but that the genetic diversity narrowed within each population. Less gametic phase disequilibrium (GPD) was observed in the parents used to form the cycle 0 (C0) populations than in C4 of AP12 and AP14. Allele frequencies of the highest-yielding C4 lines in the three populations were compared with the parents used to form the populations of the initial cycles. Allele flow was simulated to account for genetic drift. Ninety-two SSRs were associated with 56 yield QTL. Nine of the QTL had been identified in previous research. Thirty-three favorable marker alleles were unique to the PI parents. The restriction of alleles from the 40 C0 parents to the 20 cycle 1 (C1) parents of AP10 was reflected in the number of alleles that had frequency changes and could explain the reduced genetic variance for yield in the C4 of AP10. Genetic asymmetry may account for the different genetic gain for yield that had been observed between AP10 and AP14.

Book excerpt: This book examines the application of soybean genome sequences to comparative, structural, and functional genomics. Since the availability of the soybean genome sequence has revolutionized molecular research on this important crop species, the book also describes how the genome sequence has shaped research on transposon biology and applications for gene identification, tilling and positional gene cloning. Further, the book shows how the genome sequence influences research in the areas of genetic mapping, marker development, and genome-wide association mapping for identifying important trait genes and soybean breeding. In closing, the economic and botanical aspects of the soybean are also addressed.

Book Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Protein  Oil and Carbohydrates in Soybean  Glycine Max  L   Merr   Seeds

Download or read book Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Protein Oil and Carbohydrates in Soybean Glycine Max L Merr Seeds written by Ravi V. Mural and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean is mainly cultivated for its oil and high quality protein meal for feed, fuel and food uses. Achieving an improved balance of protein and oil in the seed, along with yield will enhance crop value. In practice, this has been difficult to achieve due to significant negative correlations of oil and protein, and the mostly negative relationship reported between seed protein concentration and yield. Most previous studies have focused on increasing seed oil concentration (SOC) or seed protein concentration (SPC) individually, and a few focused on decreasing raffinosacharides to improve digestibility and metabolizable energy of the feed for monogastric animals. None of the studies to date have considered improving the balance of SOC and SPC by also considering variation in total soluble sugars, which comprise the third largest component in soybean seed. Three related bi-parental recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations were developed by crossing two plant introduction lines that have lower total sugar concentration with two high-yielding soybean lines having higher SOC resulting in two pairs of half-sib populations. The objectives of this study were to identify genomic regions that influence oil, protein and carbohydrate concentrations in the seed in three uniquely structured bi-parental RIL populations using Molecular Inversion Probes (MIPs) markers, and evaluate relationships among seed composition traits and seed yield, seed weight and plant maturity from multiple environments. In total, 51 QTLs for seed, seed composition and plant traits were mapped on 17 chromosomes. All populations showed transgressive segregation for the sum of seed oil+protein concentration (SUM) in both directions but showed little transgressive segregation for SOC or SPC in two populations. There was a positive correlation of SOC and SPC with the SUM in two populations and a near to zero relationship of SUM with plot yield. Over the three populations, about 85% of the lines met processor targets of 10-12 pounds of oil per bushel and would produce 48% protein meal. The selected lines from this study could be further evaluated for yield and desirable agronomic traits in multi-location trials, which could lead to higher yielding soybean lines with improved seed composition. This work will ultimately lead to higher profitability for both the processors and farmers.

Book Confirming QTL for Seed Yield from Exotic Soybean Germplasm

Download or read book Confirming QTL for Seed Yield from Exotic Soybean Germplasm written by Charles C. Hendrix and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genetic improvement of soybean (Glycine max (L.)) cultivars in North America (N.A.) has, for the most part, been accomplished by intermating elite cultivars. This breeding strategy, combined with the limited N.A. genetic base, has resulted in a very narrow gene pool. Plant introductions (PI) have been used to expand the N.A. genetic base with limited success when conventional breeding methods have been used. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping has been used to identify genetic regions within PIs that could contribute both genetic diversity and improved seed yield potential in the N.A. gene pool. Of the putative QTL for seed yield that have been identified, only a small percentage have been tested in confirmation trials and even fewer have been confirmed. The objective of this study is to confirm putative QTL for seed yield derived from Exotic germplasm that were identified in previous QTL mapping studies. One BC1F9 confirmation population was developed from the cross Kenwood x LG94-1713 to test the QTL associated with SSR loci Satt405 (linkage group (LG), J chromosome (chr) 16) and two BC1F11 populations were developed to test Satt477 (LG O, chr 10) and Satt557 (LG C2, chr 6). Four F8 confirmation populations were developed from the cross of BSR 101 x LG82-8379 to test the QTL linked to Satt142 (LG H, chr 12), Satt225 (LG A1, chr 5), Satt363 (LG C2, chr 6), and Satt544 (LG K, chr 9) and two F9 populations were developed to test Satt168 (LG B2, chr 14) and Satt358 (LG O, chr 10). Unfortunately, no putative QTL for seed yield were confirmed in any of the populations developed from the BSR 101 x LG82-8379 mapping population. A QTL for plant height, maturity, and seed yield associated with Satt557 was confirmed in two populations developed from Kenwood x LG94-1713 with the beneficial allele coming from the LG94-1713 parent but these results were confounded by the tight linkage of Satt557 to the E1 locus. In both populations maturity was delayed by slightly more than 5 days in the lines homozygous for the LG94-1713 allele. However, there were differences between the two populations for both plant height and seed yield. The allele from LG94-1713 in one population increased plant height by 4.6 cm and seed yield by 0.32 Mg ha-1 more than in the second population. We hypothesize that a crossover occurred in one of the populations that separated the putative QTL from Satt557 but not from E1 and this QTL is responsible for the increase in seed yield and plant height. Several polymorphic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have been identified between the two parents, which are on either side of Satt557. The lines in both populations are being tested with these markers to determine if and where the crossover occurred. If our assumption is correct, this confirmed QTL for seed yield may add additional genetic diversity and higher seed yield potential to the N.A. gene pool.

Book Molecular Marker Analysis of Seed Size in Soybean

Download or read book Molecular Marker Analysis of Seed Size in Soybean written by Joseph Andrew Hoeck and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seed size is an important attribute of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] for some food uses. The objectives of this study were to identify markers associated with quantitative trait loci for seed size (SSQTL), determine the influence of the environment on expression of the marker-SSQTL associations, and compare the efficiency of phenotypic selection and marker-assisted selection for the trait. Three small-seeded lines were crossed to a line or cultivar with normal seed size to form three two-parent populations. The parents of the populations were screened with 178 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to identify polymorphism. Population 1 (Pop 1) had 75 polymorphic SSR markers covering 1306 cM, population 2 (Pop 2) had 70 covering 1143 cM, and population 3 (Pop 3) had 82 covering 1237 cM. Seed size of each population was determined with 100 F2 plants grown at Ames, IA, and their F2-derived lines grown in two replications at three environments. Single-factor analysis of variance and multiple regression were used to determine significant marker-SSQTL associations. Pop 1 had 12 markers that individually accounted for 8 to 17% of the variation for seed size, Pop 2 had 16 markers that individually accounted for 8 to 38% of the variation, and Pop 3 had 22 markers that individually accounted for 8 to 29% of the variation. Four of the 12 markers in Pop 1, four in Pop 2, and one in Pop 3 had significant associations with SSQTL across four environments, while five loci in Pop 1, seven in Pop 2, and eight in Pop 3 had significant associations in more than one environment. Three marker loci that had significant SSQTL associations in this study also were significant in previous research and 13 markers had unique SSQTL associations. The relative effectiveness of phenotypic and marker-assisted selection among F2 plants varied for the three populations. On the average, phenotypic selection for seed size was as effective and less expensive than marker-assisted selection.
