Candidate range for the major-effect locus PH24 on Gm19 associated with plant height (PH) in soybean. In the top panel, negative log₁₀-transformed P values of single nucleotide polymorphisms from a genome-wide association analysis for PH are plotted against physical positions of the given region on Gm19. Bottom panel depicts the extent of linkage disequilibrium in this region based on r ². The r ² values are indicated using a color intensity index at the right bottom. A region of 15 kb associated with PH24 is indicated by two vertical dashed lines (in grey). Genes within this region are indicated in the middle panel. The proposed candidate gene encoding a putative pectinesterase is highlighted in red.
