“Characterization and Genetic diversity study of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) Accessions from Republic of Benin based on Agro-morphology and Quality Traits”

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a vital nutritious oilseed crops that play a crucial role in feeding and supporting the world's expanding population. However, in Benin, its productivity falls below the global average due to narrow genetic base, limited improved cultivars, biotic and abiotic stress. To enhancing production and productivity this study was conducted to characterize and assess the extent of genetic diversity and characters association using agro- morphology and quality traits for soybean accessions collected from Republic of Benin.
