Summary: Soybeans are a major crop that produces high-quality vegetable oil and protein. This study identified genes and chromosomal regions associated with soybean resistance to seed coat mottling caused by the Soybean Mosaic Virus. Five candidate genes were found to play a role in the resistance, providing insights into the mechanism of soybean resistance to the virus.

Summary: Field trials were conducted to assess seed production of wild soybean under different growing conditions in Japan. The yield and yield components of wild soybean were evaluated across diverse populations, under different planting densities, and across varying growing conditions. The results showed that environmental effects and genetic by environmental interaction were the main factors affecting yield and seed number. Intra- and inter-specific competition also had a significant impact on seed production. In favorable conditions, wild soybean had high yield potential, but in natural environments, plant competition and environmental stress limited yield potential.

Summary: Wild soybean germplasm in Heilongjiang Province, China displayed abundant variation in qualitative and quantitative traits. Significant differences were found in quantitative traits among samples, and cluster analysis grouped accessions into two groups not based on geographical distribution. This suggests significant potential for genetic improvement and conservation of wild soybean resources in Heilongjiang Province.

Summary: This study investigated the root transcriptome profiles of four soybean genotypes under drought stress using RNA-Seq approach, revealing DEGs enriched in processes related to drought tolerance such as water and auxin transport, cell wall/membrane. Additionally, potential candidate genes regulating drought tolerance were identified on Chr.08 rich in QTLs and Hotspot regions.

Summary: This study revealed genetic diversity and population genetic structure differences in wild soybean populations from China, Japan, Korea, and Russian Far East. Despite shared ancestral populations and common SNPs, the populations showed distinct genetic structures. The results suggested that genetic variation follows geographic distribution within each geographically distinct wild soybeans population.

Summary: Soybean is a major crop providing dietary proteins and edible oils, but its genetic variation and chemical diversity have been limited due to domestication. Wild soybean, the ancestor of cultivated soybean, possesses high genetic diversity and can be used to improve cultivated soybean. This study characterized the metabolomes of 64 wild soybean seed lines from Japan, providing valuable information for developing metabolic breeding strategies and understanding stress defense mechanisms.

Summary: This study utilized F2-3 mapping populations derived from a wild soybean germplasm with high salt tolerance and two salt-sensitive soybean cultivars to detect and map salt tolerance-related genes. Through molecular marker technologies and analysis strategies, salt tolerance loci were successfully mapped on different chromosomes, providing a new theoretical foundation for breeding salt-tolerant soybean.

Summary: Soybean seeds are a significant source of protein and oil, and the levels of these compounds are regulated by quantitative trait loci (QTL). This study identified QTL related to protein and oil content in soybean seeds and identified specific genes associated with these traits through genetic analysis.

Summary: Understanding the genetic basis of leaf sucrose content can lead to improved soybean yields. This study used 190 chromosome fragment substitution lines (CSSLs) to identify related QTLs. Only one QTL with a high LOD score was detected among 3780 bin markers distributed in 20 chromosomes. Nine candidate genes were screened, and Glyma.14G029100 was identified as the key gene. Differences in the promoter and CDS sequences were found, leading to differences in relative transcriptional levels. These findings lay the groundwork for further research into the genetic mechanism of leaf sucrose content in soybeans.

Summary: In this study, significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with days to flowering, days to maturity, and seed weight were identified through genetic analysis of wild soybean. Candidate genes related to these traits were selected based on the detected SNP markers. These findings are expected to contribute to improving the quality of soybean cultivars through selective breeding.

Summary: In this study, chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to nodule number in soybean. Four candidate genes (GmCDPK28, GmNAC1, GmbHLH, and GmERF5) linked to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were identified as being related to nodule traits and crucial processes and pathways involved in symbiosis establishment. A candidate gene (GmERF5) encoding a transcription factor that may interact directly with the T3E NopAA was also identified.

Summary: Metabolic profiling revealed significant metabolic differences between the new hybrid soybean and wild-type soybean, with the hybrid showing accumulation of phytosterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids in seeds. Additionally, differences in metabolic profiles of leaves were observed between different genotypes at different growth stages, with wild-type soybean showing higher levels of stress-related compounds compared to BCE and Hybrid. This approach could be a useful tool in identifying metabolic links in various soybean cultivars.

Summary: In this study, a resistant haplotype GsRbohA1(A) was identified in wild soybean, which has a greater resistance capacity and genetic diversity than cultivated soybean. This haplotype can enhance resistance to the common cutworm, and it offers a strategy for exploring resistance gene resources from wild soybean relatives.
