These experiments were conducted to determine the change of sugar content during germination in corn, which were analyzed by using HPLC. Germination percentage and growth rate of Golden cross bantam 70 were higher than those of Suweon 19. The emergences of radicle and plumule of Golden cross bantam 70 were faster compared to those of Suweon 19. Three major components, sucrose, glucose and fructose, were detected during germination. Content of sucrose in two tested hybrids decreased rapidly as time passes. In embryo of Suweon 19, the content of sucrose was 38.92% on 12 hours after incubation but decreased to 4.52% on 72 hours. In that of Golden cross bantam 70, it decreased rapidly more than Suweon 19 from 53.03% on 12 hours to 8.18% on 72 hours. On the other hand, the contents of glucose and fructose increased.
