Lipid peroxidation and proline content in soybean seedlings under influence of germination conditions

The seed vigour of four Croatian soybean cultivars was tested using standard germination tests (GR and SG), cold test (CT) and seed conductivity (EC). Vigour parameters were correlated to lipid peroxidation (TBARS) and proline content (PRO) in hypocotyls and cotyledons developed in SG and CT germination conditions. Based on the significant correlations among the tested parameters, in the stressful conditions of CT, proline accumulation in cotyledons was less promoted in lower vigour seeds having low CT and high EC values. TBARS and PRO were higher in cotyledons in both tests and negatively correlated.
