Plain language summary
A Food grade soybean germplasm that lacks all the 11S glycinin protein subunits was developed at Harrow-RDC. The germplasm would be useful for private and public soybean breeding institutions to develop soybean varieties with relative high 7S β-conglycinin concentration to fight obesity, a major healthy problem in the world.
Abstract
HS-181 is an 11S glycinin null food-grade soybean line [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] with yellow hilum. The absence of 11S subunits would result in a relatively higher concentration of 7S β-conglycinin in soy food. β-conglycinins suppress food intake, which can help to fight obesity. HS-181 is adapted to areas of southwest Ontario with 3100 or more crop heat units and has a relative maturity of 2.5 (MG 2.5).
