Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Seed desiccation survival first rose then declined in laboratory and field treatments as embryos developed.
- Association Seed longevity first rose then declined as embryos developed in both treatments.
- Observation Developmental arrest was unnecessary for acquisition of desiccation tolerance.
- Observation The lack of developmental arrest does not fit the usual concept of dormancy.
