NON-DESTRUCTIVE ASSAY FOR SOYBEAN SEEDS USING NEAR INFRARED ANALYSIS

Disclosed are methods and systems for spectral imaging of soybean samples to accurately and non-destructively measure the amount of sucrosyl-oligosaccharide in the soybean samples. Populations containing modified and unmodified soybean seeds and having varying amounts of sucrosyl-oligosaccharides， oil or protein can be sorted and separated and further used in soybean processing or breeding.
