Objective  To expedite the process of the breeding program on soybean for fresh consumption as well as the rural revitalization in Fujian through vegetable market development, a new high-yield, high-quality variety was obtained.

  Method  The hybridization between Fuxian 5 as female parent and K Feng 72-2 as male parent was carried out and followed by a pedigree selection protocol.

  Result  The hybrid line, 08B2-1, exhibiting desirable genetic traits of the parents was selected for further evaluation. In a spring 2017 trial, it rendered an average fresh pod yield of 8 379.6.40 kg·hm⁻², which was 16.35% higher than that of the reference Maodou 3 and was named Mindou 10 for submission to the 2019 and 2020 Fujian Provincial Regional Trial of Fresh Edible Soybean Varieties. At those regional trials, Mindou 10 delivered a fresh pod yield of 11381.85 kg·hm⁻², i.e., 5.40% higher than that of Maodou 3. It was officially certified by the Fujian Provincial Committee of Crop Variety Identification in July 2021.

  Conclusion  The newly bred mid-season Mindou 10 soybeans for fresh consumption bore large pods and seeds. When prepared by boiling in plain water, the tender beans tasted delightful and sweet. The cultivar was considered suitable for spring planting in the province.
