Genetic analysis showed that high and low peroxidase activity in soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merrill) seed coats is controlled by a major gene. This gene, designated Ep , with complete dominance produces high activity and its recessive allele, ep , gives low activity. Control of activity resides in the maternal tissue and not in the endosperm nor in the embryo.
