Background Soybean oil is a complex mixture of five fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic). Soybean oil with a high oleic acid content is desirable because this monounsaturated fatty acid improves the oxidative stability of the oil. To investigate the genetic architecture of oleic acid in soybean seeds, 260 soybean germplasms from Northeast China were collected as natural populations. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on a panel of 260 germplasm resources. Results Phenotypic identification results showed that the oleic acid content varied from 8.2 to 35.0%. A total of 2,311,337 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were obtained. GWAS analysis showed that there were many genes related to oleic acid content with a contribution rate of 7%. The candidate genesGlyma.11G229600.1on chromosome 11 andGlyma.04G102900.1on chromosome 4 were detected in a 2-year-long GWAS. The candidate geneGlyma.11G229600.1showed a positive correlation with the oleic acid content, and the correlation coefficient was 0.980, whileGlyma.04G102900.1showed a negative correlation, with a coefficient of - 0.964. Conclusions Glyma.04G102900.1on chromosome 4 andGlyma.11G229600.1on chromosome 11 were detected in both analyses (2018 and 2019).Glyma.04G102900.1andGlyma.11G229600.1are new key candidate genes related to oleic acid in soybean seeds. These results will be useful for high-oleic soybean breeding.
