- Abstract
Plant height (PH) determines the morphology and seed yield of soybean, so it is an important breeding target, which is controlled by multiple genes and affected by plant density. In this research, it was used about a four-way recombinant inbred lines (FW-RIL) with 144 families constructed by double cross (Kenfeng 14 × Kenfeng 15) × (Heinong 48 × Kenfeng 19) as experimental materials, with the purpose to map QTL/QTN associated with PH under densities of 2.2×105 plant/ha (D1) and 3×105 plant/ha (D2) in five environments. The results showed that response of PH to densities varied in accordance to genotypes among environments. A total of 26 QTLs and 13 QTNs were identified specifically in D1; 20 QTLs and 21 QTNs were identified specifically in D2. Nine QTLs and one QTN were discovered commonly in two densities. Fifteen QTLs and 9 QTNs were repeatedly detected by multiple statistical methods, densities, or environments, which could be considered stable. Eighteen QTLs were detected, as well as 7 QTNs underlying responses of PH to density increment. Six QTNs, co-located in the interval of QTL, were detected in more than two environments or methods with a longer genome length over 3000 kb. Based on gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, five genes were predicted as candidates, which were likely to be involved in growth and development of PH. The results will help elucidate the genetic basis and improve molecular assistant selection of PH.
