Importance of the lignin content in the pod wall and seed coat on soybean seed physiological and health performances

Abstract: The effects of lignin on soybean seed quality have been studied since the early 1990s. Initially, higher lignin content in the seed coat was associated with greater resistance to mechanical damage by the seeds. Later, positive relationships of lignin content in the seed coat were associate...
