Acceleration in Germination Plays a Central Role on Seedling Vigor in Post-Germination.

An obvious relationship between germination and seedling development during post-germination has been considered, but not explained concerning vigor. Taking this into account, we used measurements of water dynamics in germinating seeds and seedling development to clarify that relationship. The biological model was soybean seeds, since it is the most relevant 'true seed' produced around world.
