Abstract:

Vegetable soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plays an very important role in regulating food structure and improving nutritional status, and thus its exploitation and utilization have been attached greet importance by people gradually. But less vegetable soybean varieties are adapted for Guangdong. Thus, twenty-one vegetable soybean varieties were evaluated for their vegetable performances, quality, pod color, number of normal pod, 100-seed fresh weight, pod length, pod width, fresh pod yield. The results showed that ‘Huachun4’, ‘Maodou2808’, ‘Zhexiandou7’, ‘Jiaoda133’, ‘Kfeng73-3’ and ‘AGS292’ were high quality and yield spring-grow varieties, and ‘Qixing1’, ‘Zhexiandou4’ and ‘Jiaoda02-89’ were high yield and quality spring-grow varieties. The performances of spring-grow varieties which were short youthhood were short growth days, small branches, low plant height. So we must breed new long youthhood varieties by backcross breeding with long youthhood ordinary varieties, all these new vegetable soybean varieties were the most important recurrent parent resources.
