Project description:Two high-sucrose/low-oil mutants (FN0176450/2012CM7F040P06/SRX826343 and FN0176450/2012CM7F040P05/SRX826351) were identified in a soybean fast neutron population (Bolon et al. 2014). These mutant lines were then advanced to the M3:7 generation and compared to thier wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify the causative region/gene associated with high-sucrose/low-oil.
Project description:Ten mutants with altered seed composition traits were identified in a soybean fast neutron population (Bolon et al. 2014). These mutant lines were maintained to an advanced generation (ranging between M5 and M9) and compared to their wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify the causative region/gene associated with the seed composition changes.
Project description:Soybean fast neutron mutant lines were maintained to an advanced generation (ranging between approximately M6 and M11) and compared to their wild-type parent (M92-220-Long) using CGH to identify sequence deletions and duplications in the mutant plants.
Project description:Cytosine methylation is a base modification that is often used by genomes to store information that is stably inherited through mitotic cell divisions. Most cytosine DNA methylation is stable throughout different cell types or by exposure to different environmental conditions in plant genomes. Here, we profile the epigenomes of ~100 Glycine max lines to explore the extent of natural epigenomic variation. We also use these data to determine the extent to which DNA methylation variants are linked to genetic variations.
Project description:Four seed composition mutants (known as G15FN-109-1, G15FN-12-1, G15FN-23-3, and G15FN-54-3) were identified in a soybean fast neutron population developed in southern U.S. lines. The parent line for G15FN-109-1 is G00-3880, while the parent line for the other three mutants is G00-3213. Each mutant was compared to its respective parent line using CGH to identify the causative region/gene associated with the seed composition phenotypes.
