Significant genetic diversity in nutritional profiles was observed, with coefficients of variation from 3.42% to 26.37%.
Higher breeding periods resulted in increased protein, amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids, while oil content declined.
Correlation analyses indicated positive associations between protein content, amino acids, and various fiber traits.
A principal component analysis model identified 13 elite germplasm accessions with superior nutritional and fiber quality traits.
