Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Broad sense heritability of α-GOS content was estimated at 76%.
- Intervention effect Heat stress during seed filling increased raffinose and stachyose content.
- Intervention effect Heat stress during seed filling reduced ciceritol content.
- Intervention effect Heat stress caused no net change in total α-GOS concentration.
- Intervention effect Longer soaking accounted for reduction in α-GOS content.
- Intervention effect Roasting had no significant effect on α-GOS content.
- Mechanism Leaching and endogenous α-galactosidase activity both contributed to α-GOS reduction during soaking.
- Observation Genotypic differences in soaking reduction exceeded genotypic differences among untreated seeds.
- Association Genetic variation in soaking loss was related to seed size, hydration coefficient and α-galactosidase activity.
