ABSTRACT = {The upper epidermal layers of soybean seeds and germinating were studied at different time intervals with light microspore and transmission and scanning electron microscopes. There were no tsoma on the upper epidermis of mature soybean seeds before seed germination. Instead, guard-cell mother cells were present among other epidermal cells. Each guard-cell mother cell forms two connected guard cells within 24h and the stomatal pores appear at about72h after planting. The ultrastructural changes of the guard-cell mother cells were studied during the early germinating period at 24h interval for 3 days. The stored food particles including starch grain, lipid droplets and protein bodies in the cytoplasm of the guard-cell mother cells and guardcells were studied histochemically.},
