Genetic Studies in Early Generations of Some Agronomic and Quality Characters of Vegetable Soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merrill)

Selection for large pods based on 100-seed weight were carried out in F2 populations for four crosses, namely, Cross I (Kahori x AGS 186), Cross II (Kahori x AGS 187), Cross III (AGS 292 x AGS 186), and Cross IV (AGS 292 x AGS 187). The selected F 2 plants were then backcrossed to large seeded pa...
