Twenty-two loci of minor effect associated with SW were identified, including hotspots on Gm04 and Gm19. The mixed model containing these loci explained 83.4 % of phenotypic variation." genotyping_platform: SoySNP50K genotyping_method: Illumina Infinium SoySNP50K BeadChip publication_doi: 10.1007/s00122-015-2614-x publication_title: "Genome‑wide association study, genomic prediction and marker‑assisted selection for seed weight in soybean (Glycine max)" contributors: "Jiaoping Zhang, Qijian Song, Perry B.
