Figure 1.
Genetic diversity and population structure of 235 soybean cultivars or accessions. (A) Population structure of 235 cultivars at K = 7. Each cultivar is represented by a single vertical line and color represents one cluster. (B) Estimated Delta K(probability of the data) calculated for K ranging from 2 to 12. (C) Phylogenetic tree constructed using neighbor-joining method. (D) Average linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay rate in the soybean genome. The mean LD decay rate was estimated as squared correlation coefficient (r2) using all pairs of SNPs located within 1 Mb of physical distance in a population of 235 soybean germplasm accessions. The dashed line in gray indicates the position where r2 dropped to half of its maximum value.
