CONCEPTS
a) Seed maturity is identified by the maximum
dry matter accumulation
b) Seed physiological maturity is reached
when there are no significant increases in
seed dry weight
c) Seed physiological maturity occurs when
seeds reach maximum dry weight,
germination, and vigor 18
PREVAILING IDEA
Seed physiological maturity = maximum dry weight

Desiccation is the “trigger” to switch to metabolism
reversion
synthesis mobilization
Henk Hilhorst
62
Desiccation Tolerance:
The ability to recover biological functions after
drying to equilibrium with moderately dry air and
then resume normal function when rehydrated
This ability depends on the ability to maintain
membrane structure and prevent protein denaturation
63
DESICCATION TOLERANCE DURING SEED
MATURATION
Desiccation Tolerance:
Intolerant Phase:
Cell division and elongation + part of reserve
accumulation period
Tolerant Phase:
Final phase of reserve accumulation
Premature and rapid desiccation:
Damage to enzyme and protein synthesis
Loss of cell turgidity, damage to cell membranes,
enzymes, proteins and nucleic acid structure
64
- Antioxidant systems
- Slow drying
