Local haplotyping reveals insights into the genetic control of flowering time variation in wild and domesticated soybean.

ABSTRACT: The timing of flowering in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], a key legume crop, is influenced by many factors, including daylight length or photoperiodic sensitivity, that affect crop yield, productivity, and geographical adaptation. Despite its importance, a comprehensive understanding of the local linkage landscape and allelic diversity within regions of the genome influencing flowering and contributing to phenotypic variation in subpopulations has been limited. This study addresses these gaps by conducting an in-depth trait association and linkage analysis coupled with local haplotyping using advanced bioinformatics tools, including crosshap, to characterize genomic variation using a pangenome dataset representing 915 domesticated and wild-type individuals. The association analysis iden
