Abstract

This study investigates the biochemical changes in total lipid, soluble sugar, and reducing sugar contents during early seed germination of Albizia procera (white siris), a multipurpose tree species in the Fabaceae family. Seeds were collected from three individual trees and monitored from day 1 to day 15 of germination under controlled laboratory conditions. Biochemical analyses revealed a consistent and progressive decline in total lipid content across all three trees, indicating active mobilization of lipid reserves to support seedling development. In contrast, soluble sugar and reducing sugar levels fluctuated considerably throughout the germination period, with no uniform pattern of increase or decrease. The magnitude and dynamics of these changes varied among the individual trees, highlighting inherent tree-to-tree variation in seed biochemical composition. These findings provide valuable insights into reserve mobilization and metabolic processes during early germination of A. procera and underscore the importance of genetic variation among seed sources. Further research on associated enzymatic activities is recommended to clarify the mechanisms underlying these biochemical changes.
