Identification of quantitative trait loci for increased α-tocopherol biosynthesis in wild soybean using a high-density genetic map
Abstract Background Soybean is one of the most important crop sources of tocopherols (Toc). However, the content of α-Toc, an isoform with the highest vitamin E activity in humans, is low in most cultivars. With the aim of broadening genetic variability, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) a...
