Soybean seeds with good storageability are desirable as long as the storage method used is still conventional. The genetic of seed storage ability wasstudied from some mutant lines of soybean.The enforced ageing method with95% ethyl alcohol (ethanol) was treated tothe seeds. The seed viability was influenced not only by the treatments but also by seed size. Small seeds tended topossess high viabilityand its deteriorationwas slower than bigger seeds. The environmentalfactors were more dominantIn controlling the storage ability than the' genetic ones. Heritabilities for seed viability were found to be 5.84% forgerminating ability and 7.20% for growth ability. Mutation breeding for improved seed storage ability seems to bedifficult to conduct.
