Table 1: QTLs Associated with Pod Number in Soybean

16 Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) associated with pod number in soybean, identified through linkage analysis and genome-wide association studies. The dataset was created by Yajun Xiong and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last update in June 2026. It includes results for two candidate genes, Glyma.10G206300 and Glyma.10G207500, implicated in regulating flower number and pod number.

Use Cases

• Validate and compare QTL mapping results for pod number based on linkage analysis and GWAS methods described.
• Investigate candidate gene functions for Glyma.10G206300 and Glyma.10G207500 based on the provided SNP and haplotype analysis.
• Design molecular markers for marker-assisted selection in soybean breeding programs using the identified major-effect QTL regions.
• Conduct comparative genomics studies by integrating these QTL intervals with other plant genomic datasets.

Strengths

• Identifies 16 specific QTLs, providing concrete genetic targets for study.
• Integrates phenotypic data from multi-environment trials with genotypic data for robust mapping.
• Highlights two candidate genes with functional annotations, offering a direct path for further research.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (16.5 KB), indicating limited scope, likely containing summary statistics rather than raw data.
