The composition and origins of intravarietal genomic heterogeneity in soybean

ABSTRACT: Soybean is a self-pollinating crop species that has relatively low nucleotide polymorphism rates compared to other crop plant species. Despite the appearance of a low intervarietal nucleotide polymorphism rate, a wide range of heritable phenotypic variation exists. There is even evidence for heritable phenotypic variation among individuals within some varieties. ‘Williams 82,’ the soybean variety used to produce the reference genome sequence, was derived from backcrossing a phytophthora root rot resistance locus from the donor parent ‘Kingwa’ into the recurrent parent ‘Williams.’ To explore the genetic basis of intravarietal variation, we investigated the nucleotide, structural and gene content variation of different Williams 82 individuals. Williams 82 individuals exhibited variation
