Abstract excerpt
Shoot branching is fundamentally important in determining soybean yield. Here, through genome-wide association study, we identify one predominant association locus on chromosome 18 that confers soybean branch number in the natural population. Further analyses determine that Dt2 is the corresponding gene and the natural variations in Dt2 result in significant differential transcriptional levels between the two...
