Abstract

In Canada, soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is primarily cultivated in three provinces (Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba). Canadian breeders want to expand the current cultivation range to more northern agro-environments by developing early-maturing elite lines while maintaining good seed quality traits. To examine quantitative trait loci involved in 100-seed weight and seed protein, oil, and fatty acid (oleic, linolenic, and linoleic acids) contents, we generated an early-maturing recombinant inbred line population (QS15544RIL) and an F2:F3 (QS15524F2:F3) population adapted to cultivation zones MGs 00 and 000, and phenotyped them for 3 years and 1 year, respectively. Using two mapping algorithms (Inclusive composite interval mapping and Genome-wide composite interval mapping), we identified a total of 12 major regions that were either associated with QS15544RIL (five loci), QS15524F2:F3 (four loci), or both (three loci) populations. Of the 12 identified regions, three (RIL_GM12, RIL_GM16, and F2_GM04.2) were not previously identified and might, respectively, serve as novel sources of regulation for oil content, seed weight, and oleic acid. For the RIL_GM05 locus, we identified two novel variants in Glyma.05G244100/MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1, a gene with a confirmed role in the regulation of oleic and linoleic acid contents. Two of the major loci (RIL_GM04 and RIL_GM16) associated with the 100-seed weight trait and one locus (F2_GM04.2) associated with oleic acid were found to be overlapping three loci (E8-r1, GM16:5,680,173–5,730,237, and E8-r2) involved in early-maturity and/or shorter pod-filling that were previously identified by our group, suggesting possible breeding bottlenecks due to linkage drag or pleiotropic effects.
