“…Many other candidate genes were identified that are associated with the variation of number of pods per plants. Among the candidate genes, basic helixloop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein that is involved in the development and dehiscence of seed and pod (Hudson and Hudson, 2015), protein kinase superfamily protein is involved in pollen abortion (Radchuk et al, 2006), pyruvate kinase family protein associated with early embryo abortion of flower (Zhang et al, 2014), ARM repeat superfamily protein is involved in self-incompatibility and reduction of pod number (Sharma and Pandey, 2016), chaperone DNAJ-domain superfamily protein is involved in male sterility (Yang et al, 2009), DNAJ heat shock Nterminal domain-containing protein that increases tolerance to heat and prevents fruit drop (Zhao et al, 2015), prolinerich family protein associated with flower and pod development (Giorno et al, 2013), adenine nucleotide alpha hydrolases-like superfamily protein is involved in male sterility (Mok and Mok, 2001), homeodomain-like protein regulates anther dehiscence (Wilson et al, 2011), cytochrome P450 is involved in the pollen tube development and fertilization (Zhao et al, 2015), pyruvate kinase family protein found associated with early embryo abortion (Zhang et al, 2014).…”
