An Improved Genome-Wide Association Procedure Explores Gene-Allele Constitutions and Evolutionary Drives of Growth Period Traits in the Global Soybean Germplasm Population.

Abstract excerpt

In soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), their growth periods, DSF (days of sowing-to-flowering), and DFM (days of flowering-to-maturity) are determined by their required accumulative day-length (ADL) and active temperature (AAT). A sample of 354 soybean varieties from five world eco-regions was tested in four seasons in Nanjing, China. The ADL and AAT of DSF and DFM were calculated from daily day-lengths and...
