Abstract: Genotyping is an important work in plant genetic analysis and molecular marker-assisted breeding. This study established a simple method for genotyping soybean from mature seeds. By this method, a skilled worker can perform the sample collection and DNA extraction of 120 samples from soybean seeds in 1 h and the treated seeds can germinate normally. The DNA obtained by this method can meet the requirement for PCR amplification, and the success rate of PCR reaction is over 98%. This method can be widely used for identifying soybean hybrid seeds, seed purity and genotyping.

Key words: soybean seed, DNA extraction, nondestructive genotyping
