Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Osmotic priming caused partial loss of desiccation tolerance.
- Intervention effect Primed mung bean seeds stored less stably than controls.
- Association Declining storage stability correlated with modified seed water sorption.
- Intervention effect Priming increased water at weak binding sites.
- Intervention effect Priming reduced water at strong and multimolecular binding sites.
- Mechanism Redistributed seed water probably enhances molecular mobility and accelerates deterioration.
