Development of kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI)-free soybean is crucial for soy-food industry as the heat inactivation employed to inactivate the anti-nutritional factor in regular soybean incurs extra cost and affects protein solubility. In the presented work, a null allele of KTI from PI542044 was introgressed into cultivar 'JS97-52' (recurrent parent) through marker assisted backcrossing. Foreground selection in BCsub(1)Fsub(2), BCsub(2)Fsub(2) and BCsub(3)Fsub(2) was carried out using the null allele-specific marker in tandem with SSR marker Satt228, tightly linked with a trypsin inhibitor Ti locus. Background selection in null allele-carrying plants through 106 polymorphic SSR markers across the genome led to the identification of 9 KTI-free lines exhibiting 98.6% average recurrent parent genome content (RPGC) after three backcrosses, which otherwise had required 5-6 backcrosses through conventional method. Introgressed lines (ILs) were free from KTI and yielded at par with recurrent parent. Reduction of 68.8-83.5% in trypsin inhibitor content (TIC) in ILs compared to the recurrent parent ('JS97-52') was attributed to the elimination of KTI.
