Physiological performance of green soybean seeds: a systematic review

The production of seeds, mainly of oilseed species, requires that the stages of maturation and harvest occur under optimal conditions, with mild temperatures and dry climatic conditions, avoiding biotic or abiotic stresses, which result in premature death or forced maturation, producing seeds and grains. greenish, with reduced physiological and organoleptic qualities. Greenish seeds are the result of very rapid translocation of reserves and lower rates of photosynthesis, preventing chlorophyll degradation. These levels of chlorophyll present in the seeds can be affected by the genotype and the climate, being an enzymatic process, evidenced by the increase of chlorylides, resulting in an increase of pheophytins and other derivatives. Green seeds, when destined for the production of vegetable oil, resulted in a product with higher acidity and higher refining cost.
