Elevated Soybean Seed Oil Phenotype Associated with a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in <i>GmNFR1α</i>.

ABSTRACT: Soybean seed composition, particularly the oil and protein content of the seed, has been a longstanding focus of research due to the economic and nutritional importance of these components for both feed and industrial applications. Through forward genetic screening of a mutagenized population derived from the soybean cultivar Williams-82, a mutant line designated PID 17238 was identified for high seed oil content. This phenotype is associated with a decrease in levels of protein with respect to Williams-82. The phenotype was mapped to chromosome 2 to a region near Satt459. Fine mapping and whole-genome resequencing were used to identify the causative mutation. Analysis of the resequencing data within the candidate region uncovered 55 sequence variants. Glyma.02G270800 contained a si
