Soybean cultivation in Europe has increased his importance due to the protein demand. Therefore, the scaling of different changes in cultivation technology and cultivar choosing is concerning to extend the areas of soybean crop zone by overcoming the biotic and abiotic stress. A number of 30 soybean genotypes had been studied by scanning a batch of seeds with GrainScan software in order to assess the seed size, color variation and mottling degree of grains. Further laboratory tests for the assessment of resistance of low temperature has been performed to check the relations between color code and degree of cold resistance of soybean genotypes. The work procedure is a fast option and low cost analysis for a primary seed health assessment.
