GmNF-YC4 delays soybean flowering and maturation by directly repressing GmFT2a and GmFT5a expression∞

Flowering time and growth period are key agro-nomic traits which directly affect soybean(Glycine max(L.)Merr.)adaptation to diverse latitudes and farming systems.The FLOWERING LOCUS T(FT)homologs GmFT2a and GmFT5a integrate multiple flowering regulation pathways and significantly ad-vance flowering and maturity in soybean.Pin-pointing the genes responsible for regulating GmFT2a and GmFT5a will improve our under-standing of the molecular mechanisms governing growth period in soybean.In this study,we identi-fied the Nuclear Factor Y-C(NFY-C)protein GmNF-YC4 as a novel flowering suppressor in soybean under long-day(LD)conditions.GmNF-YC4 delays flowering and maturation by directly repressing the expression of GmFT2a and GmFT5a.In addition,we found that a strong selective sweep event occurred in the chromosomal region harboring the GmNF-YC4 gene during soybean domestication.The GmNF-YC4Hap3 allele was mainly found in wild soy-bean(Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc.)and has been eliminated from G.max landraces and improved cultivars,which predominantly contain the GmNF-YC4Hap1 allele.Furthermore,the Gmnf-yc4 mutants displayed notably accelerated flowering and matu-ration under LD conditions.These alleles may prove to be valuable genetic resources for enhancing soybean adaptability to higher latitudes.
