Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The initial moisture content of P. chekiangensis seed was very high at 37.06%.
- Intervention effect Germination percentage of Phoebe chekiangensis seed decreased to 5.33% when seed was desiccated to 22.04% moisture content.
- Observation The seeds of Phoebe chekiangensis were considered recalcitrant.
- Observation Based on a logistic model, seed moisture content is 29.05% when germination drops to 50%.
- Recommendation It is desirable to keep seed moisture content above 31.74% during ambient transportation.
- Intervention effect Sucrose and trehalose contents increased during seed desiccation.
- Intervention effect Raffinose increased during the late stage of desiccation.
- Observation Glucose and fructose predominated among the sugar compounds.
- Observation Glucose and fructose showed a slight increase followed by a significant decrease during desiccation.
- Association Accumulation of sucrose, trehalose and soluble sugars was significantly related to the reduction in seed viability.
- Association Sucrose showed a significant negative correlation with glucose and fructose.
- Association Trehalose showed the same pattern of negative correlation with glucose and fructose.
