Soybean germplasm characterization for human consumption aptitude in Uruguay. [Caracterização do germoplasma de soja com aptidão ao consumo humano no Uruguai.]
ABSTRACT.- Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is a crop of world economic importance; and its grain constitutes a significant source of protein and carbohydrates for human consumption. This work aimed to characterize soybean genotypes available in Uruguay for human consumption regarding protein quantity and quality, carbohydrate composition and oil content in relation to yield, both in genetically modified and conventional genotypes.
