Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Old Triticale seeds generally had reduced viability.
- Observation Old Triticale seeds generally had a slow growth rate.
- Observation Old Triticale seeds showed variable chromosomal damage.
- Association Deleterious effects in Triticale seeds increased significantly in later years after an initial lag period.
- Intervention effect Old Triticale seeds showed greater sensitivity to EMS than fresh seeds.
- Association Chromosomal aberrations were positively related to loss of viability in Triticale seeds.
- Association The period of ageing was positively related to chromosomal damage in Triticale seeds.
- Mechanism The authors attributed embryo death and viability loss in aged Triticale seeds to accumulated nuclear damage.
- Mechanism The authors suggested respiratory waste products and normal metabolites directly contribute to nuclear damage in aged Triticale seeds.
- Observation The authors indicated that ageing effects in Triticale seeds occur before germination begins.
