Whole-genome sequencing analysis of soybean diversity across different countries and selection signature of Korean soybean accession.

ABSTRACT: Soybean is an important agricultural crop known for its high protein and oil content, contributing to essential nutritional and health benefits for humans. Domesticated in China over 5,000 years ago, soybean has since adapted to diverse environments and spread worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the genomic characteristics and population structures of 2,317 publicly available soybean whole-genome sequences from diverse geographical regions, including China, Korea, Japan, Europe, North America, and South America. We used large-scale whole-genome sequencing data to perform high-resolution analyses to reveal the genetic characteristics of soybean accessions. Soybean accessions from China and Korea exhibited landrace characteristics, indicating higher genetic diversity and adaptation to
