Increasing soybean yield as well as improving seed quality is of great importance.Seed weight/size, oil and protein content are the three major traits determining seed quality, and seedweight also influences soybean yield. In recent years, the availability of soybean omics data and thedevelopment of related techniques have paved the way for better research on soybean functionalgenomics, providing a comprehensive understanding of gene functions. This review summarizes theregulatory genes that influence seed size/weight, oil content and protein content in soybean. We alsoprovided a general overview of the pleiotropic effect for the genes in controlling seed traits andenvironmental stresses. Ultimately, it is expected that this review will be beneficial in breedingimproved traits in soybean. 收起
