Abstract: Selenium accumulation in germinating soybean varieties from the Northeast and Jiangsu province was investigated by Na2SeO3 solution soaking-deionizer water spraying method. The results indicated that under the same selenium-enriched conditions (30 mg/L of Na2SeO3 solution, 25 ℃ constant temperature and 6 h soaking time), different varieties of soybean had different selenium tolerance and enrichment capacity. Northeast soybean YH -NJ had the best growth properties and the highest selenium content. With the increase of Na2SeO3 concentration and temperature and the prolongation of soaking time, selenium content in sprouts of soybean YH -NJ increased significantly.

Key words: soybean, germination, selenium
