Abstract

The objective of this research was to compare the germination yield and radical scavenging activity among five rice strains: wheat, Riceberry, RD79, RD85, and RD95. The experiments were conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that wheat seeds had the fastest germination rate (3 days), the highest germination %, and the highest germination index (93.33 % and 14.85, respectively). Moreover, the leaf greenness value of wheat sprouts was 3.65 SPAD units, the fresh weight was 177.93 g per 200 g of seed weight, the juice volume was 84.00 ml per 200 g of seed weight, and the total dissolved solids value was 7.66 °Brix. RD95 sprouts had the highest antioxidant capacity, with a value of 1.27 mg TE/g FW
