Global analyses of protein profiling during seed development in soybean is paramount to understand the metabolic processes that correspond to the differential protein accumulation and hence seed quality in soybean. Using high throughput tandem mass tag (TMT) based tagging techniques, we identified 4,172 proteins in three stages namely early, mid, and late seed filling. We mapped the identified metabolic pathways associated with seed filling. An elevated level of several kinases was observed from the early to mid-stages of seed filling, indicating that protein phosphorylation was a major event that occurred during this period. The early to late stages of seed filling was characterized by an increased level of proteins associated with the cell wall, oil, and vacuolar-related processes. Twenty-five seed storage protein genes located on 12 different chromosomes were identified. Among the seed storage proteins, 7S (B-subunit) and 11S (Gy3, Gy4, Gy5) exhibited steadily increased abundance from early to late-stage seed development, whereas, 2S albumin exhibited decreased abundance during the same period. An increased abundance of proteases, senescence-associated proteins and, oil synthesis proteins was observed from the mid to late stages of seed filling. The mid to late stages of seed filling were also characterized by a lower abundance of transferases, transporters, Kunitz family trypsin, and protease inhibitors. Two enzymes associated with methionine synthesis exhibited lower abundance from early to late stages. This study unveiled the expression of several key enzymes/proteins associated with amino acid and protein syntheses and their accumulation during seed development which will assist scientists and breeders to develop new value-added soybeans with improved protein quality.
