Authors: R.K. Wang, S.F. Zhan, T.J. Zhao, X.L. Zhou and C.E. Wang
Isoflavonoids and the related synthesis enzyme, chalcone isomerase 1 (CHI1), are unique in the Leguminosae, with diverse biological functions. Among the Leguminosae, the soybean is an important oil, protein crop, and model plant. In this study, we aimed to detect the generation pattern of Leguminosae CHI1. Genome-wide sequence analysis of CHI in 3 Legumin.. Read More»

Problems with and a system to eliminate single-primer PCR product contamination in simple sequence repeat molecular marker-assisted selection in soybean
Authors: J. Ma, S.C. Guan, D. Yao, Y.F. Wei and P.W. Wang
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provides a foundation for simple sequence repeat molecular marker-assisted selection (SSR MAS) in soybean. This PCR system and its various conditions have been optimized by many researchers. However, current research on the optimization of the PCR system focuses on double-primer PCR products. We..

Overexpression of the activated form of the AtAREB1 gene (AtAREB1Ã?Â?QT) improves soybean responses to water deficit
Authors: J.P. Leite, E.G.G. Barbosa, S.R.R. Marin, J.P. Marinho, J.F.C. Carvalho, R.F. Pagliarini, A.S. Cruz, M.C.N. Oliveira, J.R.B. Farias, N. Neumaier, F.C.M. Guimar�£es, T. Yoshida, N. Kanamori, Y. Fujita, K. Nakashima, K.Y. Shinozaki, J.A. Desid�©rio and A.L. Nepomuceno
Abscisic acid-responsive element binding protein (AREB1) is a basic domain/leucine zipper transcription factor that binds to the abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive element motif in the promoter region of ABA-inducible genes. Because AREB1 is not sufficient to direct the expression of downstream genes under non-stress conditions, a.. Read More»

Analysis of quantitative trait loci for main plant traits in soybean
Authors: D. Yao, Z.Z. Liu, J. Zhang, S.Y. Liu, J. Qu, S.Y. Guan, L.D. Pan,D. Wang, J.W. Liu and P.W. Wang
Plant traits are important indices for regulating and controlling yield ability in soybean varieties. It is important to comprehensively study the quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for soybean plant traits, cloning related genes, and marker assistant breeding. In this study, 236 F2 generation plants and a derivative group were constructed by using J.. Read More»

Genomic selection of seed weight based on low-density SCAR markers in soybean
Authors: Y.J. Shu, D.S. Yu, D. Wang, X. Bai, Y.M. Zhu and C.H. Guo
With the development of molecular marker technology, crop breeding has been accelerated by marker-assisted selection for the improvement of quantitative traits. However, due to the traits’ polygenic nature, traditional marker-assisted selection methods are ill-suited for identification of quantitative trait loci. Genomic selection (GS) was introduce..
