摘要： The determination of the soybean branch number plays a pivotal role in plant morphogenesis and yield components. This polygenic trait is subject to environmental influences, and despite its significance, the genetic mechanisms governing the soybean branching number remain incompletely understood. To unravel these mechanisms, we conducted a comprehensive investigation employing a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and bulked sample analysis (BSA). The GWAS revealed 18 SNPs associated with the soybean branch number, among which qGBN3 on chromosome 2 emerged as a consistently detected locus across two years, utilizing different models. In parallel, a BSA was executed using an F2 population derived from contrasting cultivars, Wandou35 (low branching number) and Ruidou1 (high branching number). The BSA results pinpointed a significant quantitative trait locus (QTL), designated as qBBN1, located on chromosome 2 by four distinct methods. Importantly, both the GWAS and BSA methods concurred in co-locating qGBN3 and qBBN1. In the co-located region, 15 candidate genes were identified. Through gene annotation and RT-qPCR analysis, we predicted that Glyma.02G125200 and Glyma.02G125600 are candidate genes regulating the soybean branch number. These findings significantly enhance our comprehension of the genetic intricacies regulating the branch number in soybeans, offering promising candidate genes and materials for subsequent investigations aimed at augmenting the soybean yield. This research represents a crucial step toward unlocking the full potential of soybean cultivation through targeted genetic interventions.
