Preferential induction of the Dt2 gene in the absence of E1 function enhances semi-determinate stem growth in soybean.

Abstract excerpt

Suitable plant architecture is a key factor in maximizing crop yield, and stem growth habit is a crucial characteristic of architecture in soybean. Here, we investigated the combined effects of the Dt2 gene, which produces a semi-determinate growth habit, and a loss-of-function e1-nl allele of the floral repressor E1. Comparisons among near-isogenic lines with different maturity genotypes indicated that the loss...
