Effect of Origin, Seed Coat Color, and Maturity Group on Seed Isoflavones in Diverse Soybean Germplasm.

ABSTRACT: Soybeans are grown worldwide owing to their protein, oil, and beneficial bioactive compounds. Genetic and environmental factors influence soybean seed isoflavones. In the present study, we profiled the seed isoflavones in world diverse soybean germplasm grown in two locations over two years in China. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were observed between the accessions, accession origins, seed coat colors, and maturity groups for individual and total isoflavone (TIF) content. TIF content of the soybean accessions ranged from 677.25 μg g^-1 to 5823.29 μg g^-1, representing an 8-fold difference. USA soybean accessions showed the highest mean TIF content (3263.07 μg g^-1), followed by Japan (2521.26 μg g^-1). Soybean with black seed coat showe
