Genome-Wide Association Study of Root and Shoot Related Traits in Spring Soybean (Glycine max L.) at Seedling Stages Using SLAF-Seq.

ABSTRACT: Root systems can display variable genetic architectures leading to nutrient foraging or improving abiotic stress tolerance. Breeding for new soybean varieties with efficient root systems has tremendous potential in enhancing resource use efficiency and plant adaptation for challenging climates. In this study, root related traits were analyzed in a panel of 260 spring soybean with genome-wide association study (GWAS). Genotyping was done with specific locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq), and five GWAS models (GLM, MLM, CMLM, FaST-LMM, and EMMAX) were used for analysis. A total of 179,960 highly consistent SNP markers distributed over the entire genome with an inter-marker distance of 2.36 kb was used for GWAS analysis. Overall, 27 significant SNPs with a phenotypic contribution r
