TL;DR: Intergenomic comparisons identified lineage-specific genes and genes with copy number variation or large-effect mutations, some of which show evidence of positive selection and may contribute to variation of agronomic traits such as biotic resistance, seed composition, flowering and maturity time, organ size and final biomass.

TL;DR: It is found that artificial selection during domestication led to more pronounced reduction in the genetic diversity of soybean than the switch from landraces to elite cultivars.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the SD group is not a hybrid between the FD and ND groups and should be beneficial for soybean improvement and provide insight into the genetic architecture of traits of agronomic importance.

TL;DR: The beneficial allele and candidate genes should be useful in soybean breeding for improving resistance to SWM and four potential candidate genes involved in disease response or the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were identified at the locus near the significant SNPs.

TL;DR: To identify QTL and epistatic QTL underlying soybean seed weight in three RIL populations (with one common male parent ‘Hefeng25’) and across three different environments, the objective of the present study was to identify the largest number of quantitative trait loci associated with seed weight.
