Insight into the genetic and molecular control mechanisms involved in the deposition of these constituents in the developing seed is needed to guide crop improvement. A quantitative trait locus QTL on Linkage Group I LG I of soybean Glycine max L. Merrill has a striking effect on seed protein content. Results A soybean near-isogenic line NIL pair contrasting in seed protein and differing in an introgressed genomic segment containing the LG I protein QTL was used as a resource to demarcate the QTL region and to study variation in transcript abundance in developing seed. The LG I QTL region was delineated to less than Mbp of genomic sequence on chromosome 20. Using Affymetrix Soy GeneChip and high-throughput Illumina whole transcriptome sequencing platforms 13 genes displaying significant seed transcript accumulation differences between NILs were identified that mapped to the Mbp LG I protein QTL region. Conclusions This study identifies gene candidates at the LG I protein QTL for potential involvement in the regulation of protein content in the soybean seed. The results demonstrate the power of complementary approaches to characterize contrasting NILs .
