Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a crop native to Northeast Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan, but currently cultivated all over the world. The National Agrobiodiversity Center in Korea at the Rural Development Administration (RDA) conserves approximately 26,000 accessions and conducts characterizations of its accessions, to accumulate new information. Roots are essential organs of a plant, providing mechanical support, as well as aiding water and nutrient acquisition. Currently, not much information is available in international gene banks regarding root characterization. We studied the root phenotype of 374 soybean accessions, using a high-throughput method. Eight root morphological traits (RMT) were studied and we observed that the surface area (SA), number of forks (NF), and number of tips (NT) had a positive correlation with total length (LENGTH), and that link average length (LAL) and other traits all had a negative correlation. Additionally, the correlation between seed traits (height, width, and 100-seed weight) and root traits was confirmed for the first time in this experiment. The germplasms were divided into three clusters by k-means clustering, and orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to compare clusters. The most distinctive characteristics between clusters were total lateral average length (LAD) and total lateral average length (DIAM). Cluster 3 had the highest LENGTH, SA, NF, and NF, whereas cluster 1 had the smallest LENGTH, SA, and NF. We selected the top 10 accessions for each RMT, and IT208321, IT216313, and IT216137 were nominated as the best germplasms. These accessions can be recommended to breeders as materials for breeding programs. This is a preliminary report on the characterization of the root phenotype at an international gene bank and will open up the possibility of improving the available information on accessions in gene banks worldwide.
