G1MMC 679-3C-GT-1Early maturity, short plants, medium seed size, green hypocotyl, and dull green seed color
G2MMC 672-3C-GT-1Early maturity, short plant performance, medium seeds size, green hypocotyl, and shiny green seed color
G3SampeongLate maturity, high plant performance, small seed size, shiny green seeds color, and purple hypocotyl
G4Vima 2Early maturity, resistant to soilborne diseases, medium seed size, green hypocotyl, and shiny green seed color
G5MLG 1065Medium maturity, large seed size, and dull green seed color

a)Maturity: early maturity = < 60 days after planting; late maturity = > 70 days after planting. Seed size: small seed size = < 3 g of 100-seeds weight, large seed size = > 6 g of 100-seeds weight.
