Table 1.
Allele combinations of four maturity E genes in Chinese soybean cultivars.
Fig 1.
Flowering time (days from VE to R1) and maturity time (days from VE to R7) of different E allele combinations.
(a) Flowering time of cultivars with different E allele combinations in Beijing. (b) Flowering time of cultivars with different E allele combinations in Xinxiang. (c) Maturity time of cultivars with different E allele combinations in Xinxiang. VE, emergence. R1, beginning bloom. R7, beginning maturity.

Geographic distribution of E allele combinations in China.
Each pie chart indicates the proportional distribution of E allele combinations in its province. The intensity of yellow background represents the numbers of cultivars originated from each province. NE, Northeast China. HHH, Huang‐Huai‐Hai Rivers Valley Region. SC, South China.
