Abstract:

An enzymatic non-destructive method was developed to determine the levels of Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor (KTI) in soybean seeds. The procedure was tested in F2 seeds from crosses between a line lacking KTI (BRM) and six commercial varieties. The method allows identification of all three genotypic classes for KTI and will be extremely useful in breeding programs.
