Figure 1 The distribution of seed germination and viability of the F 2 progenies after being subjected<br />

to incubator weathering (IW) and controlled deterioration (CD) test. The skewness and<br />

kurtosis for each distribution are as follows: IW germination (0.079, -0.523), CD germination<br />

(-0.319, -0.742), IW viability (0.199, 0.656), CD viability (-0.395, 0.721).<br />

experiment A of this study, three incubator<br />

weathering treatments were carried out to identify<br />

the difference between susceptible variety CM60<br />

and resistant variety GC10981. After the fresh<br />

yellow pods were incubated at 30°C and 90-100%<br />

relative humidity for 10 days, a serious pathogen<br />

infection occurred, and some seeds even<br />

germinated during the incubation. The remaining<br />

seeds had lost their germinating ability (0%<br />

germination) and showed a very low viability<br />

(19.5% and 27.3%). Increasing the temperature<br />

and shortening the incubating time (35°C, 7 days)<br />

reduced the pathogen infection and germination<br />

during incubation, but the treatment still caused<br />

serious damage to the seeds. This treatment had<br />

been successfully used to identify the field<br />

weathering difference between CM60 and<br />

GC10981 by Kaowanant (2003). However, the<br />

constant temperature at 35°C practically does not<br />

occur in the soybean field. By reducing the<br />

temperature (30°C, 7 days), the pathogen growth<br />

and seed germination during incubation were<br />

controlled. The results showed obvious differences<br />

in germination and viability between CM60 and
