The rapid and uniform establishment of crop plants in the field underpins food security through uniform mechanical crop harvesting. In order to achieve this, seeds with greater vigor should be used. Vigor is a component of physiological quality related to seed resilience. Despite this importance, there is little knowledge of the association between events at the molecular level and seed vigor. In this study, we investigated the relationship between gene expression during germination and seed vigor in soybean. The expression level of twenty genes related to growth at the beginning of the germination process was correlated with vigor. In this paper, vigor was evaluated by different tests. Then we reported the identification of the genes , , , , and , which are expressed during germination, that correlated with several vigor tests commonly used in routine analysis of soybean seed quality. The identification of these transcripts provides tools to study vigor in soybean seeds at the molecular level.
通过统一的机械作物收割，作物在田间快速且均匀地定植对于粮食安全至关重要。为实现这一点，应使用活力更强的种子。活力是与种子恢复力相关的生理质量的一个组成部分。尽管其重要性，但对于分子水平事件与种子活力之间的关联却知之甚少。在本研究中，我们调查了大豆萌发过程中的基因表达与种子活力之间的关系。萌发过程开始时与生长相关的20个基因的表达水平与活力相关。在本文中，通过不同测试评估活力。然后我们报告了对基因、、、、和的鉴定，这些基因在萌发过程中表达，与大豆种子质量常规分析中常用的几种活力测试相关。这些转录本的鉴定为在分子水平研究大豆种子活力提供了工具。
