Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Improving breeding efficiency for superior soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) germplasm used in natto and sprouts requires understanding how seed coat properties relate to quality and functional traits. METHODS: We measured seed weight, water uptake, and sprout length and thickness across various genotypes tested at different locations and years. For the 2023-2024 set, we also analyzed fresh sprout...
