Stage Specific Seed Nutritional Quality Attributes and Genotyping of Vegetable Soybean Genotypes through DNA-SCoT Profiling

Soybean is one of the protein source most used in the world. However, its organoleptic characteristics are not well accepted for human consumption (Chen and Buss, 2004). Therefore, the development of soybean cultivars more suitable for food utilization is important to attend the demand of the niche market that requires special cultivars with better quality characteristics (Pannizi and Silva, 2011). The diet of over two-third world’s population lack one or more essential mineral elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation, food fortification, or enhancing the concentrations of mineral elements in produce (White and Broadley, 2008).
