We examined the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in soybean seed germination. Germination of soybean seed was suppressed by antioxidant. ROS was induced in hypocotyl after imbibition and produced the ethylene. Antioxidant suppressed the expression of ethylene signal related genes. Moreover, the ethylene produced by ROS promoted soybean seed germination by regulation of cell area in hypocotyl.
