Soluble sugar content in seeds is an important quality trait of soybean.  In this study, 57 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to soluble sugar contents in soybean seeds were collected from databases and published papers.  After meta-overview-collinearity integrated analysis to refine QTL intervals, eight consensus QTLs were identified.  To further verify the consensus QTLs, a population of chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) was analyzed.  Two lines containing fragments covering the regions of consensus QTLs and the recurrent parent were selected: one line showed high soluble sugar contents associated with a consensus QTL fragment, and the other line showed low soluble sugar contents.  Transcriptome sequencing was conducted for these two lines at the early, middle, and late stages of seed development, which identified 158, 109 and 329 differentially expressed genes, respectively.  Based on the analyses of re-sequencing data of the CSSLs and the consensus QTL region, three candidate genes (Glyma.19G146800, Glyma.19G122500, and Glyma.19G128500) were identified in the genetic fragments introduced from wild soybean.  Sequence comparisons between the two CSSL parents SN14 and ZYD00006 revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in the coding sequence of Glyma.19G122500, causing a non-synonymous mutation in the amino acid sequence that affected the predicted protein structure.  A Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker was developed based on this SNP and used to evaluate the CSSLs.  These results lay the foundation for further research to identify genes related to soluble sugar contents in soybean seeds and for future soybean breeding.

Soil-borne pathogen Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete that causes devastating damage to soybean yield.  To mine original resistant genes in soybean is an effective and environmentally-friend approach controlling the disease.  In this study, soybean proteins were extracted from the first trifoliolates infected by predominant P. sojae race 1 and analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.  Nineteen differently-expressed protein spots were detected, and 10 of them were further applied for Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry Assay.  One protein containing a dirigent (DIR) domain was identified and belonged to the DIR-b/d family.  Therefore, it was named as GmDRR1 (Glycine max Disease Resistance Response 1).  Then, GmDRR1 gene was pathologically confirmed to be involved in the resistant to P. sojae in soybean.  GmDRR1-GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusion proteins localized in the cell membrane.  qRT-PCR results showed GmDRR1 gene expressed differently in P. sojae resistant- and susceptible-soybean cultivars.  By the promoter analysis, we found a haplotype H8 was existing in most resistant soybean varieties, while a haplotype H77 was existing in most susceptible soybean varieties.  The H77 haplotype had seven SNPs (C to A, G to C, C to A, T to A, T to C, T to C, and T to A) and two single nucleotide insertions.  The results supported that the expression difference of GmDRR1 genes between P. sojae resistant- and susceptible-soybean cultivars might depend on the GmDRR1 promoter SNPs.  The results suggested that GmDRR1 was a dirigent protein involved in soybean resistant to P. sojae and paved a novel way for investigation of the molecular regulatory mechanism of the defense response to P. sojae in soybean.
