Abstract:

In order to analyze the genetic mechanism of amino acid content in soybean seeds at R6 stage, the contents of arginine, alanine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid related to flavor quality of vegetable soybean were determined using 264 soybean germplasm materials in 2020 and 2021, and genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was performed. The results showed that a total of 89 SNP loci were significantly associated with the contents of four amino acids at R6 stage in soybean in two years, among which 5 SNPs [S03_40647948 (Chr. 3), S05_2727464 (Chr. 5), S10_4122977 (Chr. 10), S17_34559022 (Chr. 17), and S19_48541685 (Chr. 19)] could be repeatedly detected by two years or two traits, respectively, which explained 11.25%-28.19% of phenotypic variation. The SNP marker S17_34559022 on Chr. 17 was significantly associated with glutamic acid content in different environments, which belonged to a stable genetic locus. A total of 9 candidate genes were excavated, including bHLH (bHLH DNA-binding superfamily protein), auxin-responsive protein family, and aspartyl protease family protein, it may be an important gene that affected amino acid content. In this study, 5 amino acid content dominant SNP sites and 9 candidate genes were excavated, which provided an insight into the genetic basis of amino acid content in soybean seed at R6 stage and laid a foundation for further mechanism exploration and breeding for flavor quality of vegetable soybean.

Key words: soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], R6 stage, seed, amino acid contents, GWAS, candidate gene
