Loci and natural alleles for leaf length and width revealed by a genome wide association study in adzuki bean
This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of the genetic basis of leaf morphology in adzuki beans, identifying key candidate genes involved in cell proliferation, auxin transport, and transcription regulation. These findings provide valuable genetic resources and theoretical support for understanding the molecular mechanisms of leaf development and improving leaf morphology in adzuki bean breeding programs.
