Researchers have sequenced the 1.1 gigabase genome of the soybean and found nearly 5,000 SNPs(single nucleotide polymorphisms and nearly 900 simple sequence repeats,as well as 20 chromosones,possibly over 46,00 protein-coding loci.

Almost 20,000 introns are shared by poplar and grapevine(they diverged more than 90 million year).

possibly over  1,000 acyl lipid genes
