“…A single QTL explaining 65% of the variation in protein content was mapped on the linkage group by Sebolt, Shoemaker, & Diers, (2000) and other QTLs were mapped in the same genomic region by Nichols, Lgover, Carlson, Specht & Diers (2006);Bolon, Joseph, Cannon, Graham, Diers, Farmer, May, Muehlbauer, Specht, Tu, Weeks, Xu, Shoemaker & Vance (2010);and Rodrigues, Miranda, Borges, Silva, Good-God, Piovesan, Barros, Cruz & Moreira (2010). In addition, this analysis reveals the presence of genetic variation in the main region of the linkage group I, which is the most reported and related to the protein content in soybean.…”
