Compiled here are over 20,000 independent soybean fast neutron mutant lines derived from M92-220 developed for use in soybean functional genomics. Within the catalog are mutants with observed phenotypic variation in seed composition, maturity, morphology, pigmentation, roots and nodulation. This population was first used for a forward screen of seed protein and oil mutants. In the meantime, it was revitalized as a resource for phenome analysis and future forward and reverse genetics screens. Analysis of genomic DNA from a subset of mutants for deletions and additions by comparative genome hybridization are also displayed on this site.
