Structure and Chemical Composition of Wild Soybean Seed Coat Related to Its Permeability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four wild and two cultivated soybeans were examined for the water imbibition and relationships with seed coat structure, histochemical and epicatechin content using light, fluorescence, electron microscope, and HPLC technique. Cultivated cultivars, Pungsan and Chungja showed the highest water permeability, while the wild soybean lines, YWS16 and YWS136 showed moderate, and YWS1420 and YWS1459 did not absorb water for 24 hours. Seed coat surface of Pungsan, Chungja, YWS16, and YWS16 showed free deposits with rarely thin deposits exposing a cutin layer, while those of YWS1420 and YWS1459 were thick, rarely exposing the cuticle. In permeable genotypes, several cracks were found and the size of the cracks ranged from 1 to 2 μm. However, in impermeable genotypes, the cracks were not found in all seeds except for the tiny cracks (0.1 0.2 μm) in YWS1459. The free deposit with lager cuticle cracks on the seed coat surface seems to be related to permeability of wild soybean seed coat.

Evaluation of the effect of maternal Soybean (Glycine max) nutrition on seed quality traits under accelerated aging test
Extended Abstract Introduction: Structural and physiological delicacy of soybean seeds is known as an important quality indicator in the cultivation of this plant, but at the same time, the most chronic problems of soybean seed quality are the reduction of seed quality during storage and before sowing. The effect of some nutrients on the quality of soybean seeds under accelerated aging stress ...
متن کاملThe outermost cuticle of soybean seeds: chemical composition and function during imbibition.
Seeds of different cultivars of Glycine max (L.) Merr. (soybean) have strikingly different rates of water imbibition. Seeds that readily imbibe water are termed 'soft', while those that remain non-permeable, even after several days in water, are referred to as 'hard', 'stone', or 'impermeable' seeds. What prevents soybean hard seeds from taking up water? Previous work established that the initi...
متن کاملA combined histology and transcriptome analysis unravels novel questions on Medicago truncatula seed coat
The seed coat is involved in the determination of seed quality traits such as seed size, seed composition, seed permeability, and hormonal regulation. Understanding seed coat structure is therefore a prerequisite to deciphering the genetic mechanisms that govern seed coat functions. By combining histological and transcriptomic data analyses, cellular and molecular events occurring during Medica...

Background & Aim: Despite valuable medicinal properties of safflower, breeding new varieties and development of the crop culture area has been limited due to the lack of genetic variation for some crucial characteristics as resistance to diseases and pests like safflower fly. In this study, populations of wild safflower, C. oxyacanthus were collected from western, central and ...
