Soybean seed development. Glycine max, var. Evans plants were grown in the field and harvested at different time points from early seed fill to maturation. A. Pod and seed development. Bar = 1 cm. B. Dry weight and moisture content of seeds during development. Average ± SE, n = 3. C. Protein, oil and starch content (mg) per embryo during seed development. Protein, oil, and starch accumulation increases from 20 DAF and peaks at about 40 DAF. Starch content decreases rapidly after that; while protein and oil accumulation keeps stable. Average ± SE, n = 3. D. Protein, oil and starch content (% per dry weight) per embryo during seed development. Protein content is stable during seed development; oil accumulation increases from 20 DAF, and peaks at about 45 DAF; starch content is highest at the initial sampling times, and decreases rapidly after 45 DAF. Average ± SE, n = 3.
