Ultrasound technology has been recently used to enhance and increase seed germination with no negative effect on seedling development. This study investigated the effects of ultrasound exposure for 10, 20, 30 min germination, growth, gene expression three soybean varieties grown under glasshouse conditions. Ultrasonic treatments showed different most studied traits compared untreated controls. ...

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seeds are highly sensitive to the environmental conditions experienced in STORAGE. The objectives of this study were identify QTLs for soybean seed storability by evaluating viability and vigor investigating candidate genes these traits detected QTL regions. These will aid developing cultivars with a high capacity storability. 109 90 recombinant inbred lines (RILs...
