Abstract: Soybean plant height plays an important role in the formation of soybean yield. Based on previous studies, the important agronomic traits of soybean were summarized as yield and its component, plant type traits and lodging traits, and the correlation between plant height and those three types of traits were reviewed. It has an important reference value to further enhance the yield potential through coordinating the interactions between the traits. Meanwhile, a comprehensive review were conducted on the QTL of soybean plant height based on linkage analysis, and the QTN of soybean plant height based on genome-wide association analysis.It provides a useful reference for accurately mapping the loci of plant height, as well as further mining potential candidate genes.
