Considerable advances in our understanding of coffee seed physiology have been made in
recent years. However, despite intense research efforts, there are many aspects that remain …

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a tolerância à dessecação de sementes de seis
espécies frutíferas nativas de Eugenia (E. brasiliensis Lam., E. cerasiflora Miq., E …

Obtaining commercially useful coffee seedlings is hindered by slow, uneven germination
and low tolerance to desiccation as well as reduced coffee seed longevity. Coffee seeds …

Knowledge of the capacity of desiccation and storage tolerance of seeds is essential to
provide adequate conditions necessary to maintain viability after seed collection. Drying rate …

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar alterações fisiológicas e bioquímicas em sementes de
café submetidas à secagem rápida, em sílica gel, e à secagem lenta, em soluções salinas …

The causes of the low desiccation tolerance and low longevity of coffee seeds have not yet
been fully elucidated, and a full understanding of their complex physiology is of great …

The accelerated aging test is recognized as an efficient method for evaluating the vigor of
seed lots and for estimating their storage potential. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the …

Seeds of Genipa americana (Rubiaceae) are tolerant to partial desiccation but lose viability
rapidly when stored at low temperatures without prior desiccation. The aim of the present …

This study aimed to determine seed dormancy, desiccation, low-temperature sensitivity and
storage behavior of seeds of Garcinia gummi-gutta, a medicinally important tropical …

Coffee seeds are classified as intermediate because they have low tolerance to desiccation
and low longevity. Consequently, moisture control and storage conditions are important …
