On the mechanism of aging in soybean seeds

D J Parrish et al. Plant Physiol. 1978 Mar.

Abstract

Changes in seeds of soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Wayne) which occur during accelerated aging (41 C, 100% relative humidity) showed subsequent loss of vigor, a decline in early respiratory activity, increased leakage of electrolytes, losses of as much as 10% dry weight from imbibing cotyledons, and a decrease in the swelling response of the imbibing system (seed plus H(2)O). Each of these changes with aging is interpreted as resulting from deteriorative changes in membranes.
