Based on deep resequencing data from 2,898 representative soybean accessions, in collaboration with the team led by Dr. Tian Zhixi from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, these panels include 2,898 sequenced soybean accessions, comprising 103 wild species (G. soja), 1,046 landraces, and 1,747 improved cultivars.
Panels cover a range of traits and agronomic markers (a total of 154 functional loci and 74 genes), such as seed size, pod number, pod density, protein content, oil content, isoflavone levels, and other quality traits, as well as growth period and plant type.
Regions related to disease and stress resistance, including SMV and SCN, are also included in the marker clusters.
These panels can be used for a wide variety of discovery and breeding applications including population genetic studies, genetic map construction, gene/QTL mapping, genome-wide association studies, functional gene mapping and cloning, as well as molecular marker-assisted selection and genome-wide selection breeding.
