Identification of loci controlling adaptation in Chinese soya bean landraces via a combination of conventional and bioclimatic GWAS

Summary Landraces often contain genetic diversity that has been lost in modern cultivars, including alleles that confer enhanced local adaptation. To comprehensively identify loci associated with adaptive traits in soya bean landraces, for example flowering time, a population of 1938 diverse landraces and 97 accessions of the wild progenitor of cultivated soya bean, Glycine soja was genotyped using tGBS ® . Based on 99 085 high‐quality SNPs,...
