Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Mature Arundina graminifolia seeds retained high germination under the vast majority of humidity, temperature and storage-time combinations.
- Observation Immature seeds (green capsules or 60 days after pollination) showed some desiccation sensitivity, with germination up to halved.
- Observation Immature seeds lost germination significantly during storage.
- Observation Seed maturity was confirmed by an increase in lipid transition enthalpy from about 10 to 20 J per g dry weight.
- Observation Melting peak temperatures of dry seeds also confirmed seed maturity.
- Observation Differential scanning calorimetry showed that seeds equilibrated to 75% relative humidity or less were below the unfrozen moisture content.
- Observation Mature seeds of A. graminifolia seem to have orthodox seed storage behaviour.
- Recommendation Both cold storage and cryopreservation appear feasible for long-term ex situ conservation of the species.
