Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Quality traits and deviation-type indices in soybean showed high heritability (h2 > 0.86).
- Observation Yield and yield-based indices in soybean showed moderate heritability (h2 > 0.68).
- Observation In GWAS, deviation-type indices showed very high correlations and overlapping significant marker-trait associations with the underlying quality trait.
- Observation Yield-based indices reflected the combined influence of seed yield and the corresponding quality trait.
- Observation GWAS on the bivariate-derived GPD index identified additional significant loci on chromosome 18 not detected for the univariate traits.
- Method / resource Deviation-type indices in soybean offered little practical advantage over direct selection for the corresponding quality traits.
