Nutritional evaluation and transcriptome analyses of short-time germinated seeds in soybean (Glycine max L. Merri.)

Abstract Germination is a common practice for nutrition improvement in many crops. In soybean, the nutrient value and genome-wide gene expression pattern of whole seeds germinated for short-time has not been fully investigated. In this study, protein content (PC), water soluble protein content (WSPC...
