Genomic regions and candidate genes associated with seed nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur accumulation identified in the soybean 'Forrest' by 'Williams 82' RIL population.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) are essential nutrients for plant health. Deficiencies in N, P, or S in plants lead to lower seed production and seed quality in grain crops, including soybean seed. Soybean seed is a source of protein, oil, essential amino acids, and minerals. These nutrients are essential for plant health, and maintaining N, P, and S levels in soybean seed is crucial for higher seed nutritional value and amino acids quality. There is limited information on genomic regions, candidate genes, and molecular markers associated with soybean seed N, P, and S. Two field experiments were carried out in two locations using a 'Forrest' × 'Williams 82' recombinant inbred lines (RIL) population. A 306 RIL population and 2075 SNP markers were used to create the genetic map.
