  • Why is soybean a high economic value crop?
  • Domestication and improvement have shaped soybean as the most important dual-function crop to provide highly valuable seed protein and oil, which together account for its high economic value 1, 2. Seed protein content, oil content, and yield are considered as the most important traits in soybean.
  • Can functional genome control soybean seed size & oil content?
  • This review summarized the progress in functional genome controlling soybean seed size, oil and protein contents in recent decades, and presented the challenges and prospects for developing high-yield soybean cultivars with high oil or protein content.
  • Does seed protein affect seed oil content and yield?
  • In soybean production, level of seed protein frequently shows a negative correlation with seed oil content and yield. Here, the authors report a CCT gene pleiotropically regulates these traits and the selection of larger seeds determining allele leads to higher oil content but lower protein content in soybean cultivars.
  • What is the difference between cultivated soybeans and commodity-type soybeans?
  • The commodity-type soybean varieties typically contain ~40% seed protein and 20% seed oil. Cultivated soybeans often contain higher seed yield and oil content, but lower protein content than their ancestral wild soybeans 3. However, these three traits vary greatly among soybean accessions.
