Black Soybeans
To Jerry Hoikka,
I am an 8th grade student at Freeburg Middle School in Freeburg, Illinois. I found your response to a question about black seed coat color in soybeans. I am also doing a science project on colored soybeans. I am currently in my 4th year with this project. I am growing yellow, black and mixed (seeds containing black and yellow pigments) started from the same cultivar. This year I was hoping to perform a genetic study of the seeds that I have grown. Is there any way of testing the DNA of my seeds? Is there any way to develop punnet squares with my seeds? I would also be open to other ideas that you may have. In the past I have compared yield of yellow versus black. I have tested and compared crude protein and crude fat on a NIR(near infrared spectrometry) machine. I have also studied the health benefits(isoflavones and proanthocyanidins) of the black seeded glycine max. I look forward to receiving a response from you. Sincerely, Madelaine Heidenreich |
