“…These results corroborate the work of Verma et al (2003) that reported an increase in carbohydrate content and a decrease in protein content of deteriorating seeds. In addition, Sossou et al (2017) reported that the tested ageing conditions led to changes in T tetraptera seed germination percentage. Obviously, the loss of membrane integrity and changes in seed composition observed in this study triggered seed coat dormancy release and seed deterioration in T tetraptera seed, thereby a decrease in seed viability and physiological quality.…”

“…These intrinsic factors make the species not quite adequate for use in reforestation programmes. To promote its ex-situ conservation and ensure timely availability of quality seed for forest rehabilitation programmes, Sossou et al, (2017) investigated different seed testing techniques on the species, including accelerated ageing test. Till date, the physiological and chemical changes that occurred in the seeds under the different tested conditions were not documented.…”

Seed ageing is one of the major issues in the storage of seeds. Accelerated ageing test has shown great potential for studying the mechanism of ageing and associated deterioration processes of seeds. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of accelerated ageing process on seed membrane integrity and chemical composition of Tetrapleura tetraptera (schum. & thonn.). Seeds were subjected to traditional accelerated ageing (100% RH at 38 and 41°C for 48, 72 and 96 h) and salt-saturated accelerated ageing (76% RH at 38 and 41°C for 48, 72 and 96 h) tests and the aged seeds were tested for moisture content, leachate conductivity and chemical composition. Results showed that the accelerated ageing process led to an increase in seed moisture content, carbohydrate, fat, ash and crude fibre content and a reduction in crude protein content in the aged seeds. Also, the leachate conductivity test revealed a loss in membrane integrity of T. tetraptera seed indicating that the accelerated ageing process triggered the seed coat dormancy release in T. tetraptera seed and led to the leaching of the mineral constituent of the seed. The accelerated ageing test combined with a storage experiment could therefore be a promising technique for estimating the storage potential of T tetraptera seed but further investigations including the enzyme activity, are required to standardize the appropriate testing conditions for the species.

“…The seed possesses the highest Vigor at the time of physiological maturity and gradually decreases as the storage period increases" [1]. "Mostly biochemical deterioration during seed aging was conducted, where high temperature and humidity conditions are normally affected" [2][3][4][5]. "Many hypotheses have been proposed regarding causes of seed aging such as lipid peroxidation mediated by free radicals, inactivation of enzymes or decrease in proteins, disintegration of cell membranes, and genetic damage" [6][7][8][9][10].…”

A lab experiment was conducted from April 2021-Sep 2022 at NSP, Seed unit, UAS, Dharwad. The seed biochemical parameters such as α-amylase activity and catalase activity were evaluated at bimonthly intervals, and the experimental design followed was a factorial completely randomized design (FCRD) with 3 replications and 2 factors, namely storage conditions such as ambient and cold storage and storage containers (cloth bag, high-density polythene bag (HDPE), polythene bag (700 gauge), aluminum laminated bag, vacuum-packed bag), the results revealed that the treatment with vacuum-packed bag stored in cold storage gave good results at the end of 18 months of storage period i.e., α-amylase activity (2.00 µ.mol/min/mg) and catalase activity (1.35 mmol/min/g) respectively compared to other treatments stored in ambient and cold storage conditions with different packaging materials.
