Tocopherol Profile Variations of Soybean World Mini-Core Collection Accessions Grown in Hokkaido
1Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, 01, JP.
Abstract:
Tocopherols (vitamin E) are lipid-soluble antioxidants, with α-tocopherol having the highest vitamin E activity. Soybean seed is a major source of tocopherols. Therefore, improving seed tocopherol content is a key breeding objective. Thirty-eight accessions from the soybean world mini-core collection were evaluated in 2019 and 2022 growing seasons. Four accessions carried a high α-tocopherol associated allele at S09_44341929 but they did not reach the high α-tocopherol levels of cultivar KAS, likely due to cooler seed-filling conditions. Moshido Gong 502 and 503 showed low total tocopherol content in both seasons, making them promising resources for investigating genetic regulation of tocopherol biosynthesis.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
