The trait distribution and mapping, together with data from F1 and F2 generations indicate that in this background the pod constriction is controlled by a major recessive gene. The identity of loci controlling the pod constriction trait will allow breeders to apply marker-assisted breeding approaches to shift allelic frequencies towards a slighter pod constriction and will facilitate future effort for map-based gene cloning.
