[0002] Soybean (Glycine max (Linn.) Merr.) is an important food and oil crop in China. With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of soybean in China is increasing, which leads to a serious contradiction between supply and demand of soybean in China.

[0003] 56% of human required fat comes from edible oil, which provides the required heat for the human body and also provides essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins that the human body cannot synthesize. Soybean oil is an important type of edible oil for human consumption, accounting for about 31%. Research has found that since the 21st century, the consumption structure of edible oil varieties in China has shifted from rapeseed oil to soybean oil, and the consumption of soybean oil has been increasing by 10.4% per year. Therefore, it is particularly important to breed soybean varieties with high oil content. Molecular assisted breeding is an important method to speed up the breeding process of soybean, and the development of molecular markers related to soybean oil content is of great significance for breeding new soybean varieties with high oil content.

[0027] The soybean material in this embodiment is derived from: In 2006, the cultivated soybean Jidou 12 in the laboratory was used as the female parent, and the wild soybean ZYD02738 was used as the male parent to carry out hybridization and establish a RIL population. In 2012, Jidou 12 was used as the female parent, and the RIL population was used as the male parent to carry out backcrossing, and the BC1F1 population was obtained in 2013. In 2014, Jidou 12 was used as the female parent, and the BC1F2 of Jidou 12 and ZYD02738 combination was used as the male parent to carry out backcrossing; the BC2F1 population was obtained in 2015. After selfing 4 times, the BC2F4:5 population, i.e. 53 strains of population No. 14019, was obtained. In December 2018, Sanya, the leaves were taken from the strains of BC2F4:5, and the DNA was extracted by Baimaik company. The genotype of each strain was identified, and the genetic map was constructed.

[0028] In combination with the phenotype data, QTLs of oil content in soybean were located, and QTL sites qOil-14 019-20-19 and qOil-14 019-20-21 related to oil content in soybean were located on chromosome 9 of soybean, with LOD values of 4.47 and 3.52, and the explained phenotypic variation was 32.70% and 26.80%. The marker associated with the QTL was CHr20_8561008_G_A. The SNP was the 8561008th SNP on chromosome 20 of soybean with the Williams82 (Wm82.a2.v1) genome sequence as the reference genome, and the nucleotide species was G or A, which was the 20th nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0035] Example 2, Gene identification of KASP markers in secondary population

[0036] In practical application, the genotype of soybean can be detected according to the following method.

[0037] A KASP marker was designed for the specific CHr20_8561008_G_A site on chromosome 20, and the primer was designed as follows:

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] In 2019, the average oil content of the GG genotype and AA genotype families was 19.62% and 18.38% respectively, and the average oil content of the GG genotype family was significantly higher than that of the AA genotype family by 6.71% (P<0.001); in 2021, the average oil content of the GG genotype and AA genotype families was 18.99% and 17.91% respectively, and the average oil content of the GG genotype family was significantly higher than that of the AA genotype family by 6.02% (P<0.05). It is shown that the identification of the oil content of soybeans by the marker CHr20_8561008_G_A is reliable and effective.

[0053] In summary, the soybean with the genotype GG of CHr20_8561008_G_A is a soybean with high oil content, and the soybean with the genotype AA of CHr20_8561008_G_A is a soybean with low oil content; the oil content of the soybean with the genotype GG of CHr20_8561008_G_A is higher than that of the soybean with the genotype AA of CHr20_8561008_G_A. When selecting the superior variety of soybean oil content, the soybean with the genotype GG of CHr20_8561008_G_A is selected for breeding and improvement.
