Mapping developmental QTL for plant height in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] using a four-way recombinant inbred line population.

Plant height (PH) is an important trait in soybean, as taller plants may have higher yields but may also be at risk for lodging. Many genes act jointly to influence PH throughout development. To map the quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling PH, we used the unconditional variable method (UVM) and...
