| allelic combinations of soybean maturity loci e1, e2, e3 and e4 result in diversity of maturity and adaptation to different latitudes. | soybean cultivars are extremely diverse in time to flowering and maturation as a result of various photoperiod sensitivities. the underlying molecular genetic mechanism is not fully clear, however, four maturity loci e1, e2, e3 and e4 have been molecularly identified. in this report, cultivars were selected with various photoperiod sensitivities from different ecological zones, which covered almost all maturity groups (mg) from mg 000 to mg viii and mg x adapted from latitude n 18° to n 53°. the ... | 2014 | 25162675 |
