Background: Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) is the most devastating disease of soybean under north Indian conditions. A recombinant inbred line population derived from SL 958 (R) × AGS 456 (S) was used to map the genes imparting YMD resistance. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) of 148 individuals and the parents was used to identify polymorphic SNPs in the population. These were used to generate linkage maps and subsequently map the QTL.
Results: A QTL, MYMIV 1-1.1, was mapped onto chromosome 6. The QTL was mapped at a genetic distance of 114.31 cM, with likelihood ratio of 81.34 (LOD 17.68), explaining 33.80% of the variation for the trait, with an additive effect of 1.22. MYMIV 1-1.1 was flanked by SNPs Gm06_12614920 explaining 33.80% of variation and Gm06_12887789 explaining 31.04% of the variation. The QTL region spanned for a total of 2.798 Mbp.

SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) is a unique international forum where science meets business on independent, impartial ground. Anyone can join and current Members include consumers, business people, environmentalists, industrialists, farmers, and researchers. The Society offers a chance to share information between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemicals, environmental science and safety. As well as organising educational events, SCI awards a number of prestigious honours and scholarships each year, publishes peer-reviewed journals, and provides Members with news from their sectors in the respected magazine, Chemistry & Industry .
Originally established in London in 1881 and in New York in 1894, SCI is a registered charity with Members in over 70 countries.
