Fig. 3: Genetic and regulatory interactions of Tof16 and J, and model summarizing of combining natural or engineered alleles of LHY family and J improve soybean yield.
From: Genetic basis and adaptation trajectory of soybean from its temperate origin to tropics
a Phenotypes of NILs possessing different allelic combinations at Tof16 and J in E1 background under SD (12 h light/12 h dark) conditions. Scale bar, 10 cm. b Flowering time. c Time to maturity. d Grain weight per plant. All data were given as mean ± s.e.m. (n = 10 plants), the value of each plant was represented by a dot. The presence of the same lowercase letter above the histogram bars in (b–d) denoted nonsignificant differences across the two panels (P > 0.05). One-way ANOVA was used to generate the P values. e–g Diurnal variation in transcript levels of E1 (e), FT2a (f), FT5a (g) in possessing different allelic combinations at Tof16 and J in E1 background under SD conditions. All data were given as mean ± s.e.m. (n = 5 plants). h Combining of various CRISPR/Cas9 generated mutants of LHY allows improve soybean adaption to tropic regions and yield. The value represents the average grain weight per plant in fields of Guangzhou under natural SD conditions. i Combining of natural or gene-edited of Tof16 and J alleles in back ground E1 or e1as enhance soybean yield in tropic regions. The value represents the average grain weight per plant in fields of Guangzhou under natural SD conditions. Source data underlying Fig. 3b–g are provided as a Source Data file.
