Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Soybean Regeneration-Related Traits and Functional Exploration of Candidate Genes.

ABSTRACT: Using the cotyledonary node method, four traits related to callus induction rate were identified in 185 soybean germplasm resources. Cultivation of callus tissue is crucial for soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) genetic transformation and functional genomics studies. Identifying genes associated with the induction rate of soybean callus tissue is therefore essential for biotechnological breeding and for understanding the molecular genetic mechanisms of soybean regeneration. The efficiency of genetic transformation impacts the breeding rate of soybeans, with its success rate dependent on the soybean regeneration system. Subsequently, whole genome association analysis (GWAS) and multidimensional functional validation were conducted. GWAS identified 66 significantly associated SNP loci c
