Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is one of the most widespread and devastating viral diseases worldwide. The genetic architecture of qualitative resistance to SMV in soybean remains unclear. Here, the Rsvg2 locus was identified as underlying soybean resistance to SMV by genome‐wide association and linkage analyses. Fine mapping results showed that soybean resistance to SMV strains G2 and G3 was controlled by a single dominant gene, GmST1, on chromosome 13, encoding a sulfotransferase (SOT). A key variation at position 506 in the coding region of GmST1 associated with the structure of the encoded SOT and changed SOT activity levels between RSVG2‐S and RSVG2‐R alleles. In RSVG2‐S allele carrier "Hefeng25", the overexpression of GmST1 carrying the RSVG2‐R allele from the SMV‐resistant line "Dongnong93‐046" conferred resistance to SMV strains G2 and G3. Compared to Hefeng25, the accumulation of SMV was decreased in transgenic plants carrying the RSVG2‐R allele. SMV infection differentiated both the accumulation of jasmonates and expression patterns of genes involved in jasmonic acid (JA) signalling, biosynthesis and catabolism in RSVG2‐R and RSVG2‐S allele carriers. This characterization of GmST1 suggests a new scenario explaining soybean resistance to SMV. GmST1, encoding a sulfotransferase (SOT), was isolated from Rsvg2 locus underlying soybean resistance to mosaic virus (SMV). A key variation in the coding region of GmST1 changed the structure of the encoded SOT between the RSVG2‐S and RSVG2‐R alleles. The overexpression of GmST1 carrying the RSVG2‐R allele conferred resistance to SMV strains G2 and G3. GmST1 mediated SMV resistance was related to genes involved in JA signaling, biosynthesis and catabolism pathways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SUMMARY: Isoflavone, a secondary metabolite produced by Glycine max (L.) Merr. (soybean), is valuable for human and plant health. The genetic architecture of soybean isoflavone content remains unclear, however, despite several mapping studies. We generated genomic data for 200 soybean cultivars and 150 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) to localize putative loci associated with soybean seed isoflavone content. Using a genome‐wide association study (GWAS), we identified 87 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were significantly associated with isoflavone concentration. Using linkage mapping, we identified 37 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying the content of four isoflavones found in the RILs. A major locus on chromosome 8 (qISO8‐1) was co‐located by both the GWAS and linkage mapping. qISO8‐1 was fine mapped to a 99.5‐kb region, flanked by SSR_08_1651 and SSR_08_1656, in a BC2F5 population. GmMPK1, encoding a mitogen‐activated protein kinase, was identified as the causal gene in qISO8‐1, and two natural GmMPK1 polymorphisms were significantly associated with isoflavone content. Overexpression of GmMPK1 in soybean hairy roots resulted in increased isoflavone concentrations. Overexpressing GmMPK1 in transgenic soybeans had greater resistance to Phytophthora root rot, suggesting that GmMPK1 might increase soybean resistance to biotic stress by influencing isoflavone content. Our results not only increase our understanding of the genetic architecture of soybean seed isoflavone content, but also provide a framework for the future marker‐assisted breeding of high isoflavone content in soybean cultivars. Significance Statement: We reported novel loci that control isoflavone content in soybean seeds by genome‐wide association mapping and linkage analysis using a high‐density haplotype map and genetic linkage map. Of these loci, a major QTL qISO8‐1 and its causal gene GmMPK1, underlying the isoflavone content of soybean, was fine mapped. The novel gene GmMPK1 could influence the isoflavone content in soybean and could also be involved in the soybean response to Phytophthora root rot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Saturated fatty acids (FA), an important component of soybean oil, plays a crucial role in the nutritional value of soybean oil through different concentration and relative proportions. In this study, an association population of 185 diverse soybean accessions was used to identify quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) and scan candidate genes via genome‐wide association analysis (GWAS), which was based on high throughout single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) developed via the Specific Locus Amplified Fragment Sequencing (SLAF‐seq) approach. A total of 33,149 SNPs were identified with minor allele frequencies (MAF) >4%, which covered 97% of the soybean whole genome. For the two saturated FA concentration, including palmitic acid (PA) and stearic acid (SA), up to 65 SNPs were verified via GWAS. Among them, 35 and 16 SNPs loci were the novel loci for PA and SA, respectively. There were other six loci for PA and eight loci for SA overlapped or located in the linked genomic regions reported by the previous study. Furthermore, many loci were repeated in more than two environments, and four pair of pleiotropic loci (PA‐3‐2 and SA‐3‐2, PA‐11‐2 and SA‐11‐1, PA‐12‐2 and SA‐12‐1, and PA‐17‐1 and SA‐17‐2) had similar genomic regions, which might control both PA and SA simultaneously. A total of 49 genes, which could participate in lipid biosynthesis pathway or hormone metabolism, were identified as the potential candidate genes associated with saturated FA. The identified loci with beneficial alleles and the candidate genes would be valuable for studying the molecular mechanisms of saturated FA and further for improving nutritional value of soybean oil.

DOMESTICATION of plants ,CULTIVATED plants ,CULTIVARS ,SOYBEAN ,GENETIC polymorphisms - Abstract
Present-day soybeans consist of elite cultivars and landraces (Glycine max, fully domesticated (FD)), annual wild type (Glycine soja, nondomesticated (ND)), and semi-wild type (semi-domesticated (SD)). FD soybean originated in China, although the details of its domestication history remain obscure. More than 500 diverse soybean accessions were sequenced using specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) to address fundamental questions regarding soybean domestication. In total, 64 141 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequencies (MAFs) > 0.05 were found among the 512 tested accessions. The results indicated that the SD group is not a hybrid between the FD and ND groups. The initial domestication region was pinpointed to central China (demarcated by the Great Wall to the north and the Qinling Mountains to the south). A total of 800 highly differentiated genetic regions and > 140 selective sweeps were identified, and these were three- and twofold more likely, respectively, to encompass a known quantitative trait locus (QTL) than the rest of the soybean genome. Forty-three potential quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs; including 15 distinct traits) were identified by genome-wide association mapping. The results of the present study should be beneficial for soybean improvement and provide insight into the genetic architecture of traits of agronomic importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SOYBEAN ,SCLEROTINIA sclerotiorum ,PLANT genes ,PLANT germplasm ,OXALACETATE - Abstract
Soybean white mold (SWM), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum ((Lib.) W. Phillips), is currently considered to be the second most important cause of soybean yield loss due to disease. Research is needed to identify SWM-resistant germplasm and gain a better understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of SWM resistance in soybean. Stem pigmentation after treatment with oxaloacetic acid is an effective indicator of resistance to SWM. A total of 128 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross of 'Maple Arrow' (partial resistant to SWM) and 'Hefeng 25' (susceptible) and 330 diverse soybean cultivars were screened for the soluble pigment concentration of their stems, which were treated with oxalic acid. Four quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying soluble pigment concentration were detected by linkage mapping of the RILs. Three hundred and thirty soybean cultivars were sequenced using the whole-genome encompassing approach and 25 179 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected for the fine mapping of SWM resistance genes by genome-wide association studies. Three out of five SNP markers representing a linkage disequilibrium (LD) block and a single locus on chromosome 13 (Gm13) were significantly associated with the soluble pigment content of stems. Three more SNPs that represented three minor QTLs for the soluble pigment content of stems were identified on another three chromosomes by association mapping. A major locus with the largest effect on Gm13 was found both by linkage and association mapping. Four potential candidate genes involved in disease response or the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were identified at the locus near the significant SNPs (<60 kbp). The beneficial allele and candidate genes should be useful in soybean breeding for improving resistance to SWM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Streptophyta include unicellular and multicellular charophyte green algae and land plants. Colonization of the terrestrial habitat by land plants is a major evolutionary event that has transformed the planet. So far, lack of genome information on unicellular charophyte algae hinders the understanding of the origin and the evolution from unicellular to multicellular life in Streptophyta. This work reports the high‐quality reference genome and transcriptome of Mesostigma viride, a single‐celled charophyte alga with a position at the base of Streptophyta. There are abundant segmental duplications and transposable elements in M. viride, which contribute to a relatively large genome with high gene content compared to other algae and early diverging land plants. This work identifies the origin of genetic tools that multicellular Streptophyta have inherited and key genetic innovations required for the evolution of land plants from unicellular aquatic ancestors. The findings shed light on the age‐old questions of the evolution of multicellularity and the origin of land plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
