Identification and validation of major QTLs associated with low seed coat deficiency of natto soybean seeds (Glycine max L.).

ABSTRACT:

Key message

Two major QTLs associated with low seed coat deficiency of soybean seeds were identified in two biparental populations, and three SNP markers were validated to assist low-SCD natto soybean breeding selection. Soybean seed coat deficiency (SCD), known as seed coat cracking during soaking in the natto production process, is problematic because split or broken beans clog production lines and increases production costs. Development of natto soybean cultivars with low SCD is crucial to support the growth of the natto industry. Unfortunately, information on the genetic control of SCD in soybean, which is desperately needed to facilitate breeding selection, remains sparse. In this study, two F₂ populations derived from V11-0883 × V12-1626 (Pop 1) and V11-0883 × V12-
