“…It has been reported that the quality of watermelon and cucurbit seeds depends on the seed maturation stage at harvest (Nerson & Paris 1988;Nerson 2002). Nerson (2002) reported that fully matured watermelon seeds (35-49 DAA) not only had higher germination percentage and rate but also retained viability over 10 years at 10°C/45% relative humidity.…”

“…In subtropical regions that are potential seed production areas (i.e., southern Turkey) when high relative humidity is associated with high temperature, seed quality declines within a medium-range storage period (18-24 months). Determining the right harvest timing is a prerequisite to obtain high quality cucurbit seeds which, in turn, reduce seed quality loss during storage (Harrington 1959;Nerson & Paris 1988;Nerson 2002). This study examines changes in seed quality as indicated by germination percentages and potential seed longevity in serially harvested watermelon seed lots under warm and cool growing temperature regimes.…”

“…Descreve, ainda, que tal comportamento não é produto exclusivo do estádio de maturação em que se encontram as sementes. Em sementes de melão (Nerson & Paris, 1988;Welbaum & Bradford, 1991) e de melancia (Nerson & Paris, 1988), espécies da mesma família do pepino, também se verifica dormência pós-colheita que desaparece com algum tempo de armazenamento. Nienhuis & Lower (1981), que de forma semelhante observaram aumento na porcentagem e na velocidade de germinação após oito meses de armazenamento de sementes de pepino, relacionaram o fato à existência de modificações fisiológicas durante o armazenamento, sem, entretanto, confirmar se se devem à dissipação de inibidores da germinação ou a algum outro fator.…”

“…A maior perda do potencial de armazenamento observada em sementes imaturas, ou seja, as obtidas de colheitas precoces sem repouso dos frutos antes da sua extração (Tabela 1), foi verificada também por Nerson & Paris (1988) não só quanto a pepino, mas também quanto a outras cucurbitáceas, como: abóbora, melão e melancia. Tal comportamento confirma as considerações feitas por Toledo & Marcos Filho (1977) e Carvalho & Nakagawa (1983) quanto à influência da qualidade inicial das sementes sobre seu potencial de armazenamento.…”
