Candidate genes near the SNP loci associated with days to flowering (DTF) and maturity (DTM) and plant height (PH) in soybean. (a) and (b) Candidate genes for DTF7 and DTF16, respectively; (c) Candidate genes for both DTM5 and PH25; and (d) Candidate gene for PH21. The top of each panel shows a 0.5-Mb region on each side of the peak SNP, whose position is indicated by a vertical blue dashed line. Negative log10-transformed P values from the mixed linear model are plotted on the vertical axis. Significance threshold is indicated as the grey dashed line. The color of each SNP indicates its r ² value with the peak SNP as shown in the color intensity index on top-left. The bottom of each panel shows all putative genes within the 50 kb adjacent region on each side of the peak SNP as indicated by green boxes. The candidate genes are indicated by arrows and Arabidopsis homologs are given in parentheses.
