Genome-wide association analysis was used to discover genes related to soybean grain weight per plant and 100-grain weight.

ABSTRACT: As an essential grain, oil, and feed crop worldwide, soybean plays a crucial role. Developing high-yielding and high-quality soybean varieties is a critical goal for breeders. The grain weight per plant and 100-grain weight directly impact the soybean yield. This study combined genotypic data from the population with phenotypic data. Based on genome-wide association analysis (GWAS), GLM and MLM analysis models were used to locate the Gm04_21489088, Gm04_15703616, and Gm04_46466250 are loci related to soybean grain weight per plant, and find the Gm09_20334173, Gm04_39518612 and Gm04_39518624 are loci related to 100-seed weight. After performing a reference comparison, we conducted gene annotation and identified candidate genes Glyma.04G203400 and Glyma.04G125600, potentially a
