Genome-wide association mapping for yield-related traits in soybean (Glycine max) under well-watered and drought-stressed conditions.

ABSTRACT: Soybean (Glycine max) productivity is significantly reduced by drought stress. Breeders are aiming to improve soybean grain yields both under well-watered (WW) and drought-stressed (DS) conditions, however, little is known about the genetic architecture of yield-related traits. Here, a panel of 188 soybean germplasm was used in a genome wide association study (GWAS) to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers linked to yield-related traits including pod number per plant (PN), biomass per plant (BM) and seed weight per plant (SW). The SLAF-seq genotyping was conducted on the population and three phenotype traits were examined in WW and DS conditions in four environments. Based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) data and individual environmental analyses, 39 SNPs w
