Variation of anthocyanin contents were analyzed by different growing environments, three locations over three years with 3 black colored soybeans. Anthocyanin contents were different according to growing location, genotypes and planting time, so it can be concluded that anthocyanin content was effected by environmental and genetic variation. Planting date seemed to have a much greater influence on anthocyanin content than cultivar and location. Among different planting dates, anthocyanin contents increased in the seeds planted on June 15 rather than did May 30 and May 15. Compared with 3 cultivars and 3 locations, Ilpumgeomjungkong and Yeonchun had higher contents such as 11.58 mg/ and 9.85 mg/g, respectively. The correlations between color index and anthocyanin content were analyzed by Hunter'value. L (lightness) and b (yellowness) values were correlated negatively with D3G, C3G, Pt3G and total anthocyanin content while a (redness) value was correlated positively. The correlations between meteorological factors and anthocyanin content were analyzed. Anthocyanin content was correlated negatively with mean temperature and accumulated temperature whereas mean daily temperature difference showed positive correlation. We could conclude that the area in which mean temperature was low and daily temperature difference was high is good for attempts to improve black soybean seed quality by the increase of anthocyanin contents.

The 1,081 soybean genotypes including 972 black soybeans and 109 other colored soybeans were collected in 197 locations from January to April, 1991. Seed chemical components of soybean collections in relation to growth characters were evaluated to survey germplasms for black soybean breeding for seed quality. Seeds of 1,081 genotypes collected were analyzed for crude protein, crude lipid, and total sugar contents. The crude protein content was averaged to 39.8% and ranged from 34.1% to 48.0%. The average crude lipid and total sugar contents were 20.1% and 10.1%, and the ranges of those were 14.1% to 23.8% and 8.3% to 12.1%, respectively. Higher crude protein content was shown in early soybean maturity group, whereas higher total sugar content was in late group. Black soybean collections with green seed embryo tended to be higher in total sugar content than those with yellow one. Black soybean oil is generally composed of about 22% oleic, 55% linoleic, 7% linolenic acid, and 16% the others.

Growth and seed productivity of black soybean (cv. Cheongja-3ho) sown on four different dates were investigated in paddy fields in the southern region to cope with climate change, trends in consumption of soy foods, and the spread of double cropping region. Sowing date of black soybean showed a significant correlation with above-ground growth, seed yield, useful components, etc. When sown in May, the above-ground part was plentiful, while seed yield significantly decreased. On the other hand, when sown in June and July, reproductive growth was vigorous resulting in high seed yield, exceeding 200 kg/10a, and pod injury and seed coat cracking were reduced. Furtherm ore, the isoflavone content of seed increased significantly as the sowing date was delayed. These results suggests that sowing from early June to early July is appropriate. Nevertheless, late June sowing oppears the m ost appropriate for black soybeans in the southern paddy fields, in order to avoid a risk of overlapping with sowing dates of winter crops in the double cropping.
