Analysis of the duplicated CHS1 gene related to the suppression of the seed coat pigmentation in yellow soybeans
Seed coat color in soybean is controlled by the classically defined I (Inhibitor) locus. The seeds of most commercial soybean varieties are yellow due to the presence of a dominant allele of the I locus (I: yello...
