Table 4: QTLs Associated with Pod Number in Soybean

Yajun Xiong published a dataset on figshare in June 2026 containing results from a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping study for pod number in soybean. The data includes 16 identified QTLs and two candidate genes (Glyma.10G206300 and Glyma.10G207500) linked to the trait. The dataset is stored in a 17.4 KB XLSX file.

Use Cases

• Identify major-effect QTL regions for pod number based on linkage and GWAS analysis.
• Validate candidate gene function for traits like flowering time and pod number.
• Compare overlapping genomic intervals from different mapping methods (LA and EMMAX).

Strengths

• Dataset is licensed CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.
• Results include 16 specific QTLs and two candidate genes with functional annotations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
