As results showed that the heritability of leaf shape related traits varied from 0.60 to 0.95 and there also existed interactions between environment and genotype, meanwhile, rhizobia inoculation could significantly affect the correlation coefficients of leaf shape index (LS) with grain number (GN), pod number (PN) and grain weight (GW) per plant. In addition, total 8 QTL with LOD values varied from 2.50~7.03, which could explain 6.4%~16.9% genetic variation, were determined under both environments with and without rhizobia inoculation. Among them, qLS-15 with LOD values varied from 2.50~3.69 could explain the 6.4%~9.3% genetic variation caused by rhizobia * genotype interaction for leaf shape traits, suggesting that qLS-15 is one of the main genetic loci that could interact with the environment. In summary, rhizobia could affect soybean leaf shape through genetic locus of qLS-15, these results provide a theoretical basis for analyzing the mechanism of rhizobia in increasing soybean yield. %U http://www.jouroilcrops.cn/EN/10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020105
