What is a high protein soybean line?

Soybean lines with up to 57.9 % protein on the seed dry weight basis can be found in the USDA soybean germplasm collection [ 50 ¨C 53 ], but the high-protein lines are characterized by smaller numbers of seeds per plant, which precludes achieving both high yield and high content of protein in seeds [ 54, 55 ].

How many QTLs control soybean seed oil and protein content?

Nowadays, over 700 QTLs controlling soybean seed oil and protein contents have been identified using accessions with different genetic backgrounds, and 57 QTLs have been confirmed ( Van & McHale, 2017 ).

How to improve soybean seed oil content?

There are two major goals in improving the soybean seed oil content. The first is to increase the total oil content of the seed, ideally without sacrificing the overall yield. The second is to ¡°improve¡± the oil quality by increasing the beneficial fatty acids while reducing those detrimental ones.

Does soybean protein content affect seed oil content?

However, the negative correlations in soybean seeds between protein content and oil content as well as yield render it challenging to increase soybean protein content while maintaining the desired seed oil level and seed yield ( Patil et al., 2017; Rincker et al., 2014 ).
