Description
Heavier soybean seeds mean better yield and quality, but few of the genes behind seed weight are proven. Furui Wang and co-authors start from 78 rice genes known to set grain weight and search the soybean genome for their counterparts. They find 155 matches, then narrow the field with several screens.
Variant patterns, gene activity, and tissue profiles cut the list to eight key genes. Focusing on a known weight pathway, the team picks three related genes, all active in the cell nucleus. Their best variants were kept and spread by modern breeding across major growing regions. The authors build DNA marker tests that separate heavy-seeded from light-seeded stock. They offer the genes and markers as tools for stacking gains in breeding programs.
