Identification of novel candidate genes for regulating oil composition in soybean seeds under environmental stresses

Many of these SNPs are located near or within the genes related to phytohormone-mediated biotic and abiotic stress responses, suggesting the involvement of environmental factors in modulating FA composition in soybean seeds. Our findings provide novel insights into the genetic and environmental factors influencing FA composition in oilseeds. This research also lays the foundation for developing stable markers to develop soybean cultivars with tailored FA profiles for different practical applications under variable growth conditions.
