Abstract

Soybean proteins are widely used for human and animal feed in the world. ${\beta}$-conglycinin protein exhibits poor nutritional and food processing properties and Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) protein is a main anti-nutritional factor in soybean seed. The objective of this research was to identify the inheritance of $cgy_1$ gene and ti gene for the improvement of soybean cultivar with no KTI proteins and low amount of ${\beta}$-conglycinin. $F_2$ population was made by crossing between "Gaechuck2ho" (${\alpha}^{\prime}$-subunit present $Cgy_1Cgy_1$, KTI protein absent titi) and PI506876 (${\alpha}^{\prime}$-subunit absent $cgy_1cgy_1$, KTI protein present TiTi) parent. A total of 434 $F_2$ seeds were obtained and analyzed for the segregation of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-subunit protein and KTI protein using SDS-PAGE. The segregation ratio of 3 : 1 for $Cgy_1$ locus (310 $Cgy_1$_ : 124 $cgy_1cgy_1$) and Ti locus (339 Ti_ : 95 titi) were observed. Segregation ratios of 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 (241 $Cgy_1$_Ti_: 69 $Cgy_1$_titi: 98 $cgy_1cgy_1$Ti_: 26 $cgy_1cgy_1titi$) between $Cgy_1$ gene and Ti gene in $F_2$ seeds were also observed (${\chi}^2= 5.367$, P = 0.10 - 0.20). This data showed that $Cgy_1$ gene was inherited independently with the Ti gene in soybean. These results will be useful in breeding program for selecting the line that does not exhibit or lacks both ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-subunit protein and KTI protein in soybean.
