| Research Abstract |
In this study, we identified the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to agronomically important traits of flowering time (FT), stem color (SC), seeds per pod (SPO), pod shattering (POS) and seed mass (SM) in model legume Lotus japonicus. Detected QTLs were a single position in FT and SC, four positions in SPO, POS and SM respectively. The position of QTL could be narrowed with a high density DNA marker. Three of SM QTLs mapped to the corresponding genomic positions equivalent QTLs in soybean.
