Description: The objectives of this study were to determine the abundance of SSRs in the soybean genome and to develop and test soybean SSR markers to create a database of locus-specific markers with a high likelihood of polymorphism. A total of 210,990 SSRs with di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats of five or more were identified in the soybean whole genome sequence (WGS) which included 61,458 SSRs consisting of repeat units of di- (≥10), tri- (≥8), and tetranucleotide (≥7). Among the 61,458 SSRs, (AT)n, (ATT)n and (AAAT)n were the most abundant motifs among di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide SSRs, respectively. After screening for a number of factors including locus-specificity using e-PCR, a soybean SSR database (BARCSOYSSR_1.0) with the genome position and primer sequences for 33,065 SSRs was created.

Description: Soybean (Glycine max) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) share a paleopolyploidy (whole-genome duplication [WGD]) event, approximately 56.5 million years ago, followed by a genus Glycine-specific polyploidy, approximately 10 million years ago. Cytosine methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays an important role in the regulation of genes and transposable elements (TEs); however, the role of DNA methylation in the fate/evolution of genes following polyploidy and speciation has not been fully explored. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was used to produce nucleotide resolution methylomes for soybean and common bean. Reference methylomes for both soybean and common bean were constructed, providing resources for investigating epigenetic variation in legume crops. Also, the analysis of methylation patterns of duplicated and single-copy genes has provided insights into the functional consequences of polyploidy and epigenetic regulation in plant genomes.

Description: This project focuses on genetic mechanisms to address biotic and abiotic stresses, with the goal of developing cultivars with robust responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, by identifying useful alleles from across a broad germplasm collection. The project wil also evaluate the feasibility of engineering the effector-triggered immunity for enhancing disease resistance against four serious soybean pathogens through gene editing.

Description: High-quality genome assemblies for soybean (Glycine max) and wild soybean (Glycine soja). These provide complements to the primary reference assembly for Glycine max cv. Williams 82 (Wm82.a2). The G. max assembly is for cultivar Lee, which has been used a parent in many southern U.S. breeding projects. The G. soja assembly is for accession PI 483463. This line was chosen for its high genotypic dissimilarity with respect to cultivated soybean. It originates from Shanxi Province, in north-central China.

Description: This project aims to identify determinants of yield potential of soybean varieties. Through resequencing of 79 cultivars that represent milestone parents, as well as the 41 SoyNAM parents, the project detects the genetic signatures of breeding work. Copy number variants (CNV) and in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are identified and presented interactively.

Description: In order to provide genetic diversity and resources for identifying important genes, a new ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenized soybean population was generated using the newly released germplasm, JTN-5203 (maturity group V). After harvest of a muagenized population, seed traits were evaluated including total oil, protein, starch, moisture content, fatty acid and amino acid compositions. Phenotypic variations observed in this population include changes in leaf morphology, plant architecture, seed compositions, and yield. We identified plants with increased amounts of total protein (50% vs. 41% for control) and plants with higher amounts of total oil (25% vs. 21.2% control). We also identified plants with increases in oleic acid content and decreases in linoleic acid and linolenic acid. This EMS mutant population will be used for further studies including screening for various traits such as amino acid pathways, allergens, phytic acids, and other important soybean agronomic traits.
