Identification of genetic loci and domestication gene GmZFP1 associated with soybean hypocotyl elongation in seedling stage by genome-wide association study
Five QTLs were mapped by GWAS in both EMMAX and TASSEL models that significantly associated with soybean hypocotyl elongation (HE). The major candidate gene GmZFP1 underlying the qHE_8 locus was identified, and the superior haplotypes and selective sweep signals were also detected in the GmZFP1 region. The QTLs and GmZFP1 discovered in this study provided potential genetic resources for the soybean molecular breeding in the future.
