Abstract
Biochemical changes during germination in mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] seedlings were studied during summer and rainy seasons. Activities of α-amylase and protease, concentrations of soluble sugars, soluble proteins, total nitrogen and free amino acids were studied at an interval of 12 h till 120 h. The results on the analysis of biochemical components showed that biochemical behavior of germinating seedlings varied in seed lots collected during summer and rainy seasons. Seeds collected from summer season had lower levels of germination percentage along with lower levels of activities for α-amylase, protease, soluble sugars, free amino acids and soluble proteins as compared to that from rainy season seeds.
