Flowering time and seed size are traits related to domestication. However, identification of domestication-related loci/genes of controlling the traits in soybean is rarely reported. In this study, we identified a total of 48 domestication-related loci based on RAD-seq genotyping of a natural population comprising 286 accessions. Among these, four on chromosome 12 and additional two on chromosomes 11 and 15 were associated with flowering time, and four on chromosomes 11 and 16 were associated with seed size. Of the five genes associated with flowering time and the three genes associated with seed size, three genes  Glyma11g18720 ,  Glyma11g15480  and  Glyma15g35080  were homologous to Arabidopsis genes, additional five genes were found for the first time to be associated with these two traits.  Glyma11g18720  and  Glyma05g28130  were co-expressed with five genes homologous to flowering time genes in Arabidopsis, and  Glyma11g15480  was co-expressed with 24 genes homologous to seed development genes in Arabidopsis. This study indicates that integration of population divergence analysis, genome-wide association study and expression analysis is an efficient approach to identify candidate domestication-related genes.
