Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Pod fresh and dry weight increased until 75 days after planting.
- Observation Pod dry weight and moisture content then decreased rapidly.
- Observation Embryo formation occurred in the first phase at stable 85% moisture.
- Observation Cotyledon filling occurred as moisture fell from 84% to 55%.
- Observation Seed fresh and dry weight increased to 75 DAP then decreased in phase three.
- Observation Seed leakage conductivity decreased slowly through phase two and rapidly after physiological maturity.
- Observation Immature seed germination began at 62 DAP and reached up to 100% after physiological maturity.
- Observation Seedling growth was normal once germination reached up to 100%.
- Observation Hydration rate changed at 55% moisture content.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that moisture loss during filling prepares seeds for desiccation at physiological maturity.
- Observation Physiological maturity coincided with disruption of the pod to mother plant vascular connection.
