Soybean (Glycine max) is an important oil crop, but the regulatory mechanisms underlying seed oil accumulation remain unclear. We identified a member of the GmWRI1s transcription factor family, GmWRI1c, that is involved in regulating soybean oil content and nodulation. Overexpression of GmWRI1c in soybean hairy roots increased the expression of genes involved in glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis, the proportion of palmitic acid (16:0), and the number of root nodules. The effect of GmWRI1c in increasing the number of root nodules via regulating the proportion of palmitic acid was confirmed in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. GmWRI1c shows abundant sequence diversity and has likely undergone artificial selection during domestication. An association analysis revealed a correlation between seed oil content and five linked natural variations (Hap1/Hap2) in the GmWRI1c promoter region. Natural variations in the GmWRI1c promoter were strongly associated with the GmWRI1c transcript level, with higher GmWRI1c transcript levels in lines carrying GmWRI1cHap1 than in those carrying GmWRI1cHap2. The effects of GmWRI1c alleles on seed oil content were confirmed in natural and RIL populations. We identified a favourable GmWRI1c allele that can be used to breed new varieties with increased seed oil content and nodulation.
