Identification and Molecular Analysis of Four New Alleles at the W1 Locus Associated with Flower Color in Soybean.

In soybean, flavonoid 3'5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) and dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) play a crucial role in the production of anthocyanin pigments. Loss-of-function of the W1 locus, which encodes the former, or W3 and W4, which encode the latter, always produces white flowers. I...
