Fig. 9. — Changes in soybeans with and without testa in the initial stages of imbibition. Seeds (‘Mikawashima’) were used. Top: a seed with testa; bottom: a peeled seed. Images at a longitudinal section (Fig. 1C, α) normal to the raphe–antiraphe of the longer axis are presented. Images were acquired continuously for 20 h for the intact soybean (top) and for approx. 2 h for the peeled soybean (bottom) at 15-min intervals after 5 min of imbibition. Changes in images are indicated from 5 min of imbibition: (A, G) 5 min, (B, H) 20 min, (C, I) 35 min, (D, J) 50 min, (E, K) 1 h 5 min, and (F, L) 1 h 20 min.
