“…The use of soybean genotypes with higher lignin content in the seed coat favors the production of higher quality seeds (França Neto et al, 2016) because it affects the degree of resistance to mechanical damage (Kuchlan, Kuchlan Onkar, Ramesh, & Husain, 2018), the process of water absorption (Abati et al, 2022), and moisture damage in soybean seed cultivars (Huth et al, 2016). Many experiments have been carried out to understand the influence of lignin in the seed coat of soybean seeds and the physiological characteristics associated with lignin content (Castro et al, 2019;Botelho et al, 2019;Baldoni, Von Pinho, Fernandes, Abreu, & Carvalho, 2013;Carvalho, Oliveira, & Caldeira, 2014). Ultrastructural and histochemical analysis of these integuments can elucidate aspects related to lignin and the physiological quality of soybean seeds…”
