Identification of genomic loci associated with 21chlorophyll fluorescence phenotypes by genome-wide association analysis in soybean.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Photosynthesis is able to convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of biomass, but the efficiency of photosynthetic solar energy conversion is low. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements are rapid, non-destructive, and can provide a wealth of information about the efficiencies of the photosynthetic light reaction processes. Efforts aimed at assessing genetic variation and/or mapping of genetic loci associated with chlorophyll fluorescence phenotypes have been rather limited.

Results

Evaluation of SoySNP50K iSelect SNP Beadchip data from the 189 genotypes phenotyped in this analysis identified 32,453 SNPs with a minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥ 5%. A total of 288 (non-unique) SNPs were significantly associated with one or more of the 21 chlorophyll fluore
