Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.04G050200
• Gene Symbol: GmELF3
• Gene Name: EARLY FLOWERING 3
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• Soybeans require a functional GmELF3 to flower and mature normally under long-day conditions.
• GmELF3 positively regulates photoperiodic flowering time.
• A Single Nucleotide Deletion in J Encoding GmELF3 Confers Long Juvenility and Is Associated with Adaption of Tropic Soybean.
• HT1-type varieties were mostly from the northeast, where soybeans require a functional GmELF3 to flower and mature normally under long-day conditions.
• Our identification of GmELF3 as the causal gene for the economically and historically important long juvenile trait will likely enable significant, rapid progress in soybean breeding programs.
