c. High economic yield
d. Improved pod quality (including straightness, color, smoothness,
texture, flavor and quality retention, and delayed seed size development)
e. Tolerance to abiotic stresses.
f. Improve seed quality of materials in the breeding program to provide
greater resistance to mechanical injury and low germination
issues.
