Abstract

Shoot branching is fundamentally important in determining soybean yield. Here, through genome-wide association study, we identify one predominant association locus on chromosome 18 that confers soybean branch number in the natural population. Further analyses determine that Dt2 is the corresponding gene and the natural variations in Dt2 result in significant differential transcriptional levels between the two major haplotypes. Functional characterization reveals that Dt2 interacts with GmAgl22 and GmSoc1a to physically bind to the promoters of GmAp1a and GmAp1d and to activate their transcription. Population genetic investigation show that the genetic differentiation of Dt2 display significant geographic structure. Our study provides a predominant gene for soybean branch number and may facilitate the breeding of high-yield soybean varieties.
