Genetic diversity and population structure of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) germplasm
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is a significant legume crop for oil and protein. However, its yield in Africa is less than half the global average resulting in low production, which is inadequate for satisfying the continent’s needs. To address this disparity in productivity, it is crucial to dev...

| description | Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is a significant legume crop for oil and protein. However, its yield in Africa is less than half the global average resulting in low production, which is inadequate for satisfying the continent’s needs. To address this disparity in productivity, it is crucial to develop new high-yielding cultivars by utilizing the genetic diversity of existing germplasms. Consequently, the genetic diversity and population structure of various soybean accessions were evaluated in this study. To achieve this objective, a collection of 147 soybean accessions was genotyped using the Diversity Array Technology Sequencing method, enabling high-throughput analysis of 7,083 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed across the soybean genome. The average values observed for polymorphism information content (PIC), minor allele frequency, expected heterozygosity and observed heterozygosity were 0.277, 0.254, 0.344, and 0.110, respectively. The soybean genotypes were categorized into four groups on the basis of model-based population structure, principal component analysis, and discriminant analysis of the principal component. Alternatively, hierarchical clustering was used to organize the accessions into three distinct clusters. Analysis of molecular variance indicated that the genetic variance (77%) within the populations exceeded the variance (23%) among them. The insights gained from this study will assist breeders in selecting parental lines for genetic recombination. The present study demonstrates that soybean improvement is viable within the IITA breeding program, and its outcome will help to optimize the genetic enhancement of soybeans. |
