GWAS-based identification of a candidate gene and development of a predictive KASP marker for seed protein and oil contents in soybean.
Article in Genes & genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSoybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is one of the most widely cultivated crops worldwide. Its seeds contain about 40% protein and 20% oil, serving as essential nutrient sources for humans. Given the nutritional importance of seed protein and oil, identifying genes that regulate their levels is crucial for improving soybean seed quality.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify genetic factors associated with seed protein and oil content using a genome-wide association study (GWAS).
methodsSeed protein and oil contents were quantified in 192 soybean mutant accessions in a mutant diversity pool (MDP), and GWAS was conducted using 17,631 SNPs filtered from genotyping-by-sequencing. Expression of a candidate gene was examined across seed developmental stages (R5 to R7), and a significant SNP was converted into a Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) marker for validation.
resultsGWAS detected significant SNPs associated with seed protein and oil content. Chr20_7635098 was identified as a nonsynonymous SNP located in the exon of Glyma.20g042400. This gene showed differential expression across seed developmental stages between mutant accessions with contrasting protein and oil contents. The KASP marker for Chr20_7635098 was validated using the MDP and six domestic soybean cultivars showing predictive accuracies of ≥ 80.50% for protein content and ≥ 61.18% for oil content.
conclusionOverall, this study identified a candidate gene linked to both seed protein and oil content, providing valuable insights for molecular breeding strategies aimed at efficiently improving these nutritional traits.
