While these species share a whole-genome duplication (WGD), the Glycine lineage experienced a second, independent WGD. Despite the significance of these WGDs, their impact on gene families related to oil-traits remains poorly understood.

In that sense, CrI values were calculated by FT-IR and the bands associated with the crystalline and amorphous regions were observed at 1424 cm and 896 cm, respectively. Similarly, the signals due to ordered (89.
