Abstract

Although oligosaccharides and sucrose are very important nutritional components of soybean seeds, little information is available about inheritance of oligosaccharide and sucrose content. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that determine the oligosaccharide and sucrose content of soybean. The 117 F2:10 recombinant inbred lines developed from a cross of “Keunolkong” and “Shinpaldalkong” were used. Narrow-sense heritability estimates, on a plot mean basis, of oligosaccharide and sucrose content were 79.07 and 74.84%, respectively. Four QTLs for oligosaccharide content were located on linkage groups (LG) C2, H, J, and L. Sucrose content was related with two QTLs located on LG H and J. Total oligosaccharide and sucrose content have two common QTLs on LG H and J.
