چکیده
ABSTRACT The adoption of quick and reliable laboratory techniques equipment to choose the best seed lots for marketing will influence production soybeans with superior physiological quality, among other areas in sector. Therefore, objective this study was evaluate CO2 concentrations produced by water-soaked soybean seeds verify effectiveness new help different vigor levels. To physical quality seeds, eight were evaluated following tests: water content, weight thousand first germination count, germination, electrical conductivity, emergence, respiration Pettenkoffer apparatus designed measure seeds. results subjected analysis variance means compared Tukey’s test at p ? 0.05. Conventional methods showed significant differences viability efficient detecting soaked 8 hours. readings presented satisfactory predict through respiration.

متن کاملPrecocious Germination during In Vitro Growth of Soybean Seeds.
Immature Glycine max (L.) Merrill seeds were grown and matured in liquid medium at 25 degrees C under fluorescent light. In standard medium containing minerals, 146 millimolar sucrose and 62.5 millimolar glutamine (osmolality 0.24), precocious germination seldom occurred with a starting seed size of less than 300 milligrams fresh weight. Frequency of precocious germination increased with increa...
متن کاملCotton bracts are adapted to a microenvironment of concentrated CO2 produced by rapid fruit respiration.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Elucidation of the mechanisms by which plants adapt to elevated CO2 is needed; however, most studies of the mechanisms investigated the response of plants adapted to current atmospheric CO2. The rapid respiration rate of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fruits (bolls) produces a concentrated CO2 microenvironment around the bolls and bracts. It has been observed that the intercell...

Absence of Lipid Oxidation during Accelerated Aging of Soybean Seeds.
When seeds of soybean were subjected to accelerated aging, the amount of total lipid which was extracted from the whole seed increased with "age," whereas the extractable phospholipid decreased slightly. This small decline primarily reflected changes in the amounts of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The levels of unsaturated fatty acids in the whole seed and in the seed axis s...
