Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Increasing seed moisture and cooling rate increased mortality.
- Observation All selections survived below 60 g kg −1 moisture at 1, 10 and 30°C min −1.
- Observation Four of six selections were damaged at 200°C min −2 cooling below 60 g kg −1 moisture.
- Recommendation The authors recommend moisture below 60 g kg −1 and cooling at 1 to 30°C min −1 for liquid nitrogen exposure.
