Study of Seed Germination and Protein Content of Four Varieties of Glycine max L. – A Miracle Crop
Abstract
Glycine max L. (Soybean) is an important source of high-quality proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients for both human beings and animals. The study was investigated on the seed germination, purity percentage and protein content of four varieties of Glycine max L. namely, JS335, JS9560, JS9305 and PK1042, collected from the Indian Agriculture Research Institute, Pusa, New Delhi (India). The experimental data showed that variety JS335 exhibited 85% germination, 100% purity, 0.51 mg/g protein content and 1.55 mg/g chlorophyll content. In addition, maximum purity percentage was also found in PK1042.
