F1 seed was collected from the soybean cultivar Asgrow AG5332 and Progeny P5333RY after exposure to drought stress, including replacement of 100, 80, 60, 40, and 20% of the evapotranspiration demand. Maximum seed germination (MSG), quadratic equation constants (a, b, c), coefficient of determination (r2) for MSG, estimated minimum osmotic potential when seed germination was zero (MSGOPmin), linear regression constants (a, b), coefficient of determination (r2) for seed germination rate, and estimated minimum osmotic potential when SGR was zero (SGROPmin). AG and PG represent Asgrow AG5332 and Progeny P5333RY correspondingly.
