Dynamic RGB-depth phenotyping and association mapping reveal candidate loci for soybean plant height variation under contrasting light environments

This dataset supports the manuscript entitled “Dynamic RGB-depth phenotyping and association mapping reveal candidate loci for soybean plant height variation under contrasting light environments”. The dataset contains processed genotype data, phenotypic data, sample information, and genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for 112 cultivated soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) germplasm accessions evaluated under contrasting light environments. Plant height-related traits were collected under normal-light control (CK) and low-light treatment (SL) conditions from 5 to 25 days after sowing using an RGB-depth high-throughput phenotyping platform. The genotype file contains 77,968 SNP markers across 112 soybean accessions. SNP positions are based on the soybean reference genome Glycine max Wm82.a2.v1. The sample IDs in the genotype file correspond to those in the phenotypic and sample information files. Seeds of the soybean accessions were provided by Professor Xiaoling Wu’s laboratory, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. All materials were cultivated soybean germplasm accessions and were not collected from the wild for this study.
