Over the past two decades soybeans grown in western Canada have persistently had lower seed protein than those grown in eastern Canada. To understand the discrepancy in seed protein content between eastern- and western-grown soybeans, RNA-seq and differential expression analysis have been investigated. Ten soybean genotypes, ranging from low to high in seed protein content, were grown in four locations across eastern (Ottawa) and western (Morden, Brandon, and Saskatoon) Canada. Differential expression analysis revealed 34 differentially expressed genes encoding Glycine max Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporters (GmSWEETs), including paralogs GmSWEET29 and GmSWEET34 (AtSWEET2 homologs) that were consistently upregulated across all ten genotypes in each of the western locations over three years. GmSWEET29 and GmSWEET34 are likely candidates underlying the lower seed protein content of western soybeans. GmSWEET20 (AtSWEET12 homolog) was downregulated in the western locations and may also play a role in lower seed protein content. These findings are valuable for improving soybean agriculture in western growing regions, establishing more strategic and efficient agricultural practices.
