Promoter deletion in the soybean Compact mutant leads to overexpression of a gene with homology to the C20-gibberellin 2-oxidase family.

Abstract excerpt

Height is a critical component of plant architecture, significantly affecting crop yield. The genetic basis of this trait in soybean remains unclear. In this study, we report the characterization of the Compact mutant of soybean, which has short internodes. The candidate gene was mapped to chromosome 17, and the interval containing the causative mutation was further delineated using biparental mapping....
