- 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.
- Mechanism Continued embryo growth and development led to loss of desiccation tolerance.
- Observation The lack of developmental arrest does not fit the usual concept of dormancy.
