Mapping QTL/QTN and mining candidate genes for plant height and its response to planting densities in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] through a FW-RIL population.

ABSTRACT: Plant height (PH) determines the morphology and seed yield of soybean, so it is an important breeding target, which is controlled by multiple genes and affected by plant density. In this research, it was used about a four-way recombinant inbred lines (FW-RIL) with 144 families constructed by double cross (Kenfeng 14 × Kenfeng 15) × (Heinong 48 × Kenfeng 19) as experimental materials, with the purpose to map QTL/QTN associated with PH under densities of 2.2×10⁵ plant/ha (D1) and 3×10⁵ plant/ha (D2) in five environments. The results showed that response of PH to densities varied in accordance to genotypes among environments. A total of 26 QTLs and 13 QTNs were identified specifically in D1; 20 QTLs and 21 QTNs were identified specifically in D2. Nine QTLs and one QTN we
