Abstract excerpt
Soybean, a typical short-day crop, is sensitive to photoperiod, which is a major limiting factor defining its north-to-south cultivation range. The long-juvenile (LJ) trait is controlled primarily by the J locus which has been used for decades by soybean breeders to delay flowering and improve grain yield in tropical regions. The J gene encodes an ortholog of the Arabidopsis Evening Complex (EC) component EARLY...
