Glycine soja, PI424025, is a valuable genetic resource to improve soybean seed-protein content and composition.

ABSTRACT: Soybean seed-protein content and composition is important because it contributes over half the value of this $61 billion crop. Historic negative correlation between seed-protein content and oil have been reported. Similarly, negative correlation between seed-protein content and yield have been reported but may be at least in part mitigated by increasing the genetic diversity of the elite soybean germplasm. Improvements in amino acid composition of seed-protein would increase the value of soybean meal and protein for animal and human consumption. We have identified a genetic resource in wild soybean germplasm, PI424025B, with elevated seed-protein, elevated cysteine in the seed and increased sulfur content in the seed. We have developed a population of Recombinant Inbred Lines derived from
