Abstract excerpt
Natural genetic variations in waterlogging tolerance are controlled by multiple genes mapped as quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in major crops, including soybean (Glycine max L.). In this research, 2 novel QTLs associated with waterlogging tolerance were mapped from an elite/exotic soybean cross. The subsequent research was focused on a major QTL (qWT_Gm03) with the tolerant allele from the exotic parent. This QTL...
