%X In the present study, we used the cultivated soybean, Glycine max, and its wild relatives G. soja, G. tomentella, and G. tabacina collected in Taiwan as the materials. We took immature, artificially dried, and naturally mature seeds and analyzed their seed moisture contents, germination rates, and the presence of seed maturation proteins. The results indicated that fresh immature wild soybean seeds acquired their germination ability after drying treatment, and that timing for the appearance of seed maturation proteins and the increase of germination ability coincided well.
