Germination, carbohydrate composition and vigor of cryopreserved Caesalpinia echinata seeds

Germination, carbohydrate composition and vigor of cryopreserved Caesalpinia echinata seeds

The present study investigated the germination and vigor of Caesalpinia echinata (Brazilwood) seeds stored at negative temperatures. Recently harvested seeds were cryopreserved at -18º or -196ºC and periodically evaluated for germination, seed vigor and carbohydrate composition. The temperatures did...
