Interrelationships among seed yield, total protein and amino acid composition of ten quinoa (<i>Chenopodium quinoa</i>) cultivars from two different agroecological regions

Abstract

It appears that there are clear variations in seed yield, total protein content and amino acid composition among cultivars from the two sites. Essential amino acid composition was more affected than grain yield and protein level. The study revealed that both environmental and climatic factors influence the nutritional composition of quinoa cultivars growing in different agroecological regions.
