Abstract

In over 27 years of genetic mapping of the soybean genome, a genetic map containing thousands of molecular markers, thousands of QTLs and dozens of genes was obtained. Currently, two soybean genome consensus maps are available—GmConsensus4.0 and GmComposite2003—and can be used as an anchor to map new genes or QTLs in soybean. All information on these genetic maps is available for consultation at SoyBase (http://soybase.org). Genetic map information can also be compared with the annotated genomic sequence of Williams 82 cultivar, so there are currently tools that can associate regions of genetic maps containing QTLs with the genetic sequences of the soybean genome (physical map). In addition, the new tools for high-density genotyping of SNP markers allow to obtain dozens or hundreds of thousands of markers at affordable costs and the development of linkage disequilibrium maps. Linkage disequilibrium maps allow better understanding of the structure of the soybean genome and the identification of molecular markers in linkage disequilibrium with QTLs. With the evolution of large-scale phenotyping tools (phenomics), along with high-resolution genetic maps, the genetic processes that regulate plant development can be better understood in the near future.
