- Intervention effect Control tomato seed viability and germination rate were unaffected by either storage temperature.
- Intervention effect Storage at 4 °C did not affect viability and germination rate in primed or aged tomato seeds.
- Intervention effect At 30 °C, primed and aged tomato seeds lost viability and germination rate markedly after six months.
- Intervention effect High temperature storage adversely affected temperature dependence of tomato seed germination rate and spread of germination times, particularly in primed seeds.
- Intervention effect Seed treatments did not alter the relationship between tomato seed viability and mean germination rate.
- Intervention effect Priming enhanced tomato seed germination rates.
- Intervention effect Priming lowered resistance of tomato seeds to deterioration.
