A Major Soybean QTL, qPDH1, Controls Pod Dehiscence without Marked Morphological Change

Pod dehiscence (shattering) is a major source of yield loss in the mechanically harvested soybean. We examined near-isogenic lines (NILs) for a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling pod dehiscence, designated as qPDH1, to reveal the mechanism underlying the effect of this QTL on shatterin...
