This presentation discusses the development of low linolenic fatty acid, low phytate, and food-grade soybean varieties for Virginia farmers. It covers the objectives, challenges, and potential benefits of breeding for specialty traits. The presentation also includes information on molecular markers and their use in DNA genotyping.

Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT • Value-added Soybean = Specialty Soybean Traits
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT What are Specialty Soybeans? • In the eyes of the buyer • Output traits • Driven by consumer vs. end-user manufacturer • Earn a premium over commodity price • Usually short-term • Cost more to produce • Require alternative marketing and delivery channels
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Breeding for Specialty Traits… • Selecting for yieldandspecial traits • Quality traits sometimes more important than yield • Resource-intensive • Varieties have longevity • Exploit a niche Germplasm is notoriously low-yielding and susceptible to disease

Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Outline • Low Linolenic Fatty Acid (i.e. Vistiva) • Low Phytate • Food-grade • Bioactive compounds
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Outline • Low Linolenic Fatty Acid (i.e. Vistiva) • Low Phytate • Food-grade • Bioactive compounds • trend • regional concern • regional niche • expertise
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Linolenic Fatty Acid
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Linolenic Fatty Acid
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Currently no low lin varieties later than maturity group 3. Maturity Group 3 Maturity Group 4 Low Linolenic Fatty Acid Maturity Group 5 Maturity Group 6 Low lin oil must be below 3% linolenic fatty acid.
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT • Objectives • To develop a maturity group 4 low lin soybean variety, that is adapted to Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic region, with herbicide tolerance. • Promote healthier and more valuable soybean oil by elimination of need for hydrogenation. Low Linolenic Fatty Acid
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT • Better Bean Initiative • Source: NC State and USB quality traits test • Adapted germplasm • Environmental influence Low Linolenic Fatty Acid

Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT V98-9005: 4% Linolenic Fatty Acid 2007: 105%
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT V98-9005: 4% Linolenic Fatty Acid
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT V98-9005: 4% Linolenic Fatty Acid • Purple Seed Stain Resistance • Higher protein: 44.7% dry • MG V • Not RR • Release for 2008
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT V98-9005: 4% Linolenic Fatty Acid Conversion to GAT herbicide tolerance with molecular markers without GAT with GAT
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT V98-9005: 4% Linolenic Fatty Acid Low Lin V98-9005 Low Saturated Mid Oleic
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT • Other Low Lin lines 2007: 107%
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Early generation materials, non-RR, below 3% • Parental varieties: • Maryland • NC • Missouri F1 F2 F3 F4 funded by VDACS
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Linolenic Soybeans • Eliminate need for hydrogenation • Regional adaptation for FA content • Release 4% and 3.5%RR varieties • V98-9005 GAT • Germplasm for other FA traits • Using Molecular Markers
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT • Low Phytate Soybeans • Reduce Phytate Increase Available P • Reduce Phytase and Supplemental P in Feed • Reduce P in Manure
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Phytate Soybeans Reduce P in Manure Chesapeake Bay watershed
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Phytate Soybeans
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT • Objectives • Move the traits into high-yielding germplasm in a range of maturity groups. • Characterize traits for inheritance, germination, feed qualities, molecular markers, etc. Low Phytate Soybeans - Unique Source! In collaboration with the Maroof lab.
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Phytate Soybeans Data from Maroof lab, in publication
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Phytate Soybeans
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Low Phytate Soybeans • Reduces nutrient pollution • Unique source of trait at VT • Several seasons away from a high-yielding variety • Marker Development
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Food-grade Soybeans • Small-seeded natto • Large-seeded tofu
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Natto small-seeded soybeans • Local niche • High premiums • Source material within the program • MFS-591 dominant • New traits and methods of evaluation and selection • Markers
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Examining new traits • Water absorption • Water Loss after steaming • Rate of water uptake • Seed coat cracking Gene vs. Environment • 7 locations • 2 years • Double Crop vs. Full Season
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Large-seeded soybeans • Tofu, soymilk, edamame • High protein and sucrose • Lower yielding • Organic traits ? Objective: Find new markets for existing lines
Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Large-seeded soybeans 2003 2006
Membrane Lipid Cancer CHD Neurological DNA Protein Specialty Soybean Breeding @ VT Bioactive Compounds in Soybean • Antioxidants prevent damage in the body from free radicals • Isoflavones are a type of antioxidant specific to legumes • Initial data show difference between varieties in Virginia O2-, HOO H2O2, HO Protect cells Preventchronic diseases oxidative stress Antioxidants Research in collaboration with Kevin Zhou, Dept Food Science and Tech. funded by VDACS
Other Objectives: • Yield !!! • RR2Yield • Disease Resistance • Earliness • Genetic Diversity
