摘要： Salt stress poses a significant challenge to crop productivity, and understanding the genetic basis of salt tolerance is paramount for breeding resilient soybean varieties. In this study, a soybean natural population was evaluated for salt tolerance during the germination stage, focusing on key germination traits, including germination rate (GR), germination energy (GE), and germination index (GI). It was seen that under salt stress, obvious inhibitions were found on these traits, with GR, GE, and GI diminishing by 32% to 54% when compared to normal conditions. These traits displayed a coefficient of variation (31.81% to 50.6%) and a substantial generalized heritability (63.87% to 86.48%). Through GWAS, a total of 1841 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified to be associated with these traits, distributed across chromosome 2, 5, 6, and 20. Leveraging these significant association loci, 12 candidate genes were identified to be associated with essential functions in coordinating cellular responses, regulating osmotic stress, mitigating oxidative stress, clearing reactive oxygen species (ROS), and facilitating heavy metal ion transport - all of which are pivotal for plant development and stress tolerance. To validate the candidate genes, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was conducted, revealing three highly expressed genes (Glyma.02G067700, Glyma.02G068900, and Glyma.02G070000) that play pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and osmoregulation. In addition, based on these SNPs related with salt tolerance, KASP (Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR)markers were successfully designed to genotype soybean accessions. These findings provide insight into the genetic base of soybean salt tolerance and candidate genes for enhancing soybean breeding programs in this study.
