Abstract
Like other seed composition traits organic and amino acids, macronutrients, macronutrients, and sugars' contents vary considerably in soybean seeds depending on the genotype, biotic, and abiotic factors. In this chapter, we first summarized the role of organic and amino acids, macronutrients, macronutrients, sugars, and other compounds in seed development as well as the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on seed development. Finally, we summarized QTL mapping data for amino acids, macronutrients, macronutrients, and sugars' contents and candidate genes for these seed composition traits for the past two decades (2000-2020). These findings will help breeders and farmers to develop soybean cultivars with high contents of amino acids and desired combinations of sugars and beneficial mineral nutrients.
