Description Longevity of stored seed is affected by a number of
environmental factors. The three major factors are seed
moisture content (mc), temperature and oxygen
concentration in the storage environment (Roberts 1972).
Conservation of germplasm in seed storage facilities
necessitates techniques that prolong seed longevity. The
orthodox seeds tolerate considerable amount of
desiccation, and over a wide range of conditions,
longevity of seeds increases in a quantifiable way with
decrease in mc (Roberts 1973). Lower levels of mc can be
achieved in oily seeds rather than in starchy seeds; and
oily seeds show much poorer longevity than starchy seeds
at the same storage temperature and mc (Ellis et al. 1989)...
