Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Nineteen QTL for three other agronomic traits were identified.
- Observation Thirteen soybean yield QTL were identified.
- Observation The yield-increasing allele came from the PI parent for eight yield QTL.
- Association Yield-increasing alleles were linked to delayed maturity for three yield QTL.
- Association One yield-increasing allele was linked to increased lodging and height.
- Observation All yield QTL mapped to regions where yield QTL had been previously reported.
- Association QTL by environment interaction was significant because effects were weak or undetectable in some environments.
- Observation Nine digenic interactions for yield were detected in Kenwood, mostly between loci with epistatic effects only.
