title: Molecular sequence variations of the lipoxygenase-2 gene in soybean.
abstract: Soybean lipoxygenase genes comprise a multi-gene family, with the seed lipoxygenase isozymes LOX1, LOX2, and LOX3 present in soybean seeds. Among these, the LOX2 isozyme is primarily responsible for the "beany" flavor of most soybean seeds. The variety, Jinpumkong 2, having null alleles (lx1, lx2, and lx3) lacks the three seed lipoxygenases; so, sequence variations between the lipoxygenase-2 genes of Pureunkong (Lx2) and Jinpumkong 2 (lx2) cultivars were examined. One indel, four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), a 175-bp fragment in the 5'-flanking sequence, and a missense mutation within the coding region were found in Jinpumkong 2. The distribution of the sequence variations was investigated among 90 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross of Pureunkong × Jinpumkong 2 and in 480 germplasm accessions with various origins and maturity groups. Evidence for a genetic bottleneck was observed: the 175-bp fragment was rare in Glycine max, but present in the majority of the G. soja accessions. Furthermore, the 175-bp fragment was not detected in the 5' upstream region of the Lx2 gene on chromosome (Chr) 13 in Williams 82; instead, a similar 175-bp fragment was positioned in the homeologous region on Chr 15. The findings indicated that the novel fragment identified was originally present in the Lx2 region prior to the recent genome duplication in soybean, but became rare in the G. max gene pool. The missense mutation of the conserved histidine residue of the lx2 allele was developed into a single nucleotide-amplified polymorphism (SNAP) marker. The missense mutation showed a perfect correlation with the LOX2-lacking phenotype, so the SNAP marker is expected to facilitate breeding of soybean cultivars which lack the LOX2 isozyme.
