Variation in Water Absorbing Capacities of Soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merr.) Seeds

Variation in water absorbing capacity (WAC) of soybean seeds is manifested by the presence of both soft (swollen) and hard seed that do not change in size under certain soaking conditions. Variation in WAC also occurs within soft seeds and within hard seeds though it may not be visible. Knowledge of the effects of hereditary and environmental factors on variation in WAC is important to research workers concerned with soybean production and with the processing of seeds for soy foods.
