Identification of genes associated with the increased number of four-seed pods in soybean (Glycine max L.) using transcriptome analysis
“Identification of genes associated with the increased number of four-seed pods in soybean (Glycine max L.) using transcriptome analysis”, vol. 14, pp. 18895-18912, 2015.
, Seed number per pod is an important component of yield traits in soybean (Glycine max L.). In 2010, we identified a natural mutant with an increased number of four-seed pods from a soybean variety named ‘Jinong 18’ (JN18). Subsequent observations indicated that the trait was stably inherited. To identify and understand the function of genes associated with this mutant trait, we analyzed the genetic differences between the mutant (JN18MT01) and source variety (JN18) by transcriptome sequencing.
