Soybean lodging can result in serious yield reduction. Detecting the quantitative trait loci ( QTL ) associated with lodging tolerance for their further application in marker‐assisted selection ( MAS ) has the potential to enhance soybean breeding efficiency. In this study, a genome‐wide association analysis ( GWAS ) was performed to identify soybean accessions that could potentially be used to produce lodging‐tolerant varieties, based on the comprehensive evaluation of lodging scores ( LS ) obtained for the parental cultivar “Tokachi nagaha” and its 137 derived cultivars. Results showed that genotype, environment and genotype × environment interaction significantly influenced LS . Of the 31 significant SNP s identified, 22 were consistently detected in two or more environments and 27 SNP s were located in or close to agronomically important QTL mapped by linkage analysis. Best linear unbiased predictors ( BLUP s) of LS tend to decrease with the elite alleles contained by accessions increasing. Some excellent accessions, with lower BLUP s and D i (stability coefficients) values and more elite alleles, were selected. This study contributed to understand the genetic mechanism of lodging, providing genetic and phenotypic information for MAS .
