TLDR
This study mined 13 known and 442 candidate genes for seed size- and oil-related traits and provided useful gene resources for future breeding and biology research.
Abstract
Highlights • Due to reduced diversity, it is essential to map domesticated and improved genes.• 13 known and 442 candidate genes were mined for seed size- and oil-related traits.• All the genes were used to explain trait changes in domestication and improvement.• 56 domesticated and 15 improved genes may be valuable for future soybean breeding.• This study provides useful gene resources for future breeding and biology research.
