a Haplotype diversity and distribution of GmSMS6 within the soybean core germplasm54 that includes 97 wild soybeans, 198 landraces, and 29 cultivars. The proportions of the 28 identified haplotypes (designated GmSMS6Hap1–GmSMS6Hap28) are shown in the pie chart for each group. b, c GmSMS6 knockout enhances soybean seed yield. b Seed yield per plant are respectively shown for the wild type ‘Jack’, CR1-SMS6, CR2-SMS6, and CR3-SMS6 lines. Bar = 10 mm. c 100-seed weight (n = 19, 19, 22, and 20 plants for Jack, CR1-SMS6, CR2-SMS6, and CR3-SMS6 lines, respectively), seed weight per plant (n = 16, 19, 19, and 19 individuals for Jack, CR1-SMS6, CR2-SMS6, and CR3-SMS6 lines, respectively), and seed yield (n = 3) measured for the Jack and indicated CR-SMS6 lines. d Haplotype distribution of GmbZIP151 within the soybean core germplasm54. The proportions of the haplotypes are shown in the pie chart for each group. e Comparison of 100-seed weight between GmbZIP151A and GmbZIP151G in G. max. f Comparison of 100-seed weight between deferent haplotype combinations in G. max. In all the box plots, the center line indicates the median, the edges of the box represent the first and third quartiles, and the whiskers extend to the smallest and largest data points within 1.5 interquartile ranges from the edges. g Haplotype distribution of haplotype combinations in G. max and G. soja. Data are shown as means ± SD. Statistically significant differences were determined by two-sided Student’s t-tests. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
