- Observation Mungbean swelling quotient reached 2.8.
- Observation Castorbean swelling coefficient was 0.09.
- Observation Cowpea swelling coefficient was 0.42.
- Association Swelling lowers specific gravity in initially dense seeds.
- Association Swelling raises specific gravity in initially less dense seeds.
- Association Swelling extent relates linearly to moisture content.
- Intervention effect Air redrying only partly restored original volume.
- Intervention effect Oven drying fully restored original volume.
- Intervention effect Temperature altered swelling rate and extent.
- Intervention effect Solutes altered volume-increase dynamics.
- Mechanism Imbibitional deformation may contribute to tissue hydration stresses.
