Identification of two quantitative genes controlling soybean flowering using bulked-segregant analysis and genetic mapping.

ABSTRACT: Photoperiod responsiveness is important to soybean production potential and adaptation to local environments. Varieties from temperate regions generally mature early and exhibit extremely low yield when grown under inductive short-day (SD) conditions. The long-juvenile (LJ) trait is essentially a reduction and has been introduced into soybean cultivars to improve yield in tropical environments. In this study, we used next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based bulked segregant analysis (BSA) to simultaneously map qualitative genes controlling the LJ trait in soybean. We identified two genomic regions on scaffold_32 and chromosome 18 harboring loci LJ32 and LJ18, respectively. Further, we identified LJ32 on the 228.7-kb scaffold_32 as the soybean pseudo-response-regulator ge
