“…Results from this study emphasized the fact that appropriate storage conditions and duration of storage are of great necessity in preserving the viability of seeds from the time of collection to the time when they are needed for sowing. In fact, Genes and Nasreen [25] observed that the use of seed is one of the propagation methods that can be used to multiply plants but the seeds need to be capable of germinating in the first place., hence the need for knowledge of its methods of germination. Since most plants produce seeds only once a year, knowledge of methods of seeds preservation for next season's generation was deemed important and so was the determination of how soon the seeds would lose its viability.…”

Tetrapleura tetraptera and Annona muricata are medicinal plant species with a great medicinal values. Despite their usefulness, preservation of their seed from harvest time to the time when they are required for planting has not been given adequate attention. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of storage conditions and duration of storage on seed germination of T. tetraptera and Annona muricata. Fifty (50) seeds each of Tetrapleura tetraptera and Annona muricata were planted in top soil to determine their germination percentages before subjected to storage conditions, while Tetrapleura tetraptera has 94% germination, Annona muricata has 72% germination. Four storage conditions viz: cold room, refrigerator, room air conditioned and laboratory were used and the experiment was carried out in Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti. Seeds stored at different temperatures were collected and planted in polythene nylons filled with top-soil and watered daily, the experiments were replicated four times to test for the germinability on monthly basis for six months. In Tetrapleura tetraptera, highest percentage germination (50%) was recorded in seeds stored in the air conditioned room at 1 month. This was followed by seeds store in the refrigerator with 47% at 2 month. Seeds stored in the room air conditioned had percentage germination of 39% at 2 months, 30.50% at 3 months and 10.70% at 4 month of the experiment. No further germination in seeds under this treatment was observed at the last two months of the experiment. While seeds stored in refrigerator recorded 5.20% at 1 months of the experiment. Seeds stored in cold room and those in laboratory recorded no emergence throughout the period of the experiment. Also in Annona muricata, Highest percentage germination (58.00%) was observed in seeds stored in the room air conditioned at 1 month of the experiment, this was followed by the seeds in this same temperature at two month of the experiment with mean plumule emergence value of 39.00%, seeds under this temperature (air condition) did not respond to germination at 5th and 6th months of the experiment. Seeds of Annona muricata stored in the cold room responded to germination with unappreciable value of 2.05% only at third month of the experiment. Only 1.6% of the seeds stored in the laboratory emerged at 5th month of experimental time, seeds stored in the refrigerator did not respond for the first two months, last fifth and sixth month of the experiment but had 15.53% and 35.00% plumule emergence at third and fourth month of the experiment respectively. Thus, storage of seeds of T. tetraptera and A. muricata in air conditioned room with temperature of -200C might enhance germination in these species.

“…e growing season influences the chemical composition during the seed development. During the development, any change in the proteins or thickness of the seed coat is a result in a difference in moisture content [29]. e storage life of grains is directly influenced by seed moisture content, for long-term storage wheat should be dried quickly to a moisture level of about 12% [29].…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the growing seasons, grain types, and varieties on physical, proximate, functional, mineral, vitamins, amino acids, and microstructural properties of Ethiopian emmer wheat. One local landrace and three improved emmer wheat varieties (Hydroo, Sinana 01, and Lameso) grown during Meher and Belg seasons and grain types (hulled and dehulled) were used for analysis. The study showed that dehulled Sinana 01 variety from Belg season had the highest (17.82%) protein content. Varieties grown in Belg season showed the highest mineral compositions. The essential amino acids in emmer wheat were higher in the hulled grain type grown in Meher season. The highest vitamin B1 (0.17 mg/g), B2 (0.35 mg/g), and B6 (5.52 mg/g) contents were observed in hulled emmer wheat types grown in Meher season. The study concluded that seasonal variation, grain types, and varieties have a great effect on the proximate, physical, and functional properties of emmer wheat cultivated in Ethiopia.

The study was conducted at the Laboratory of the Department of Agronomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur, during March to August, 2008 to examine the effect of hot water treatment at different temperatures with varying immersion periods on the viability of Sesbania rostrata seeds. Effect of dipping seeds in hot water at temperature of 78, 79, 80 and 810C for 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 min were evaluated for this purpose. The lowest seed viability and seed germination (0.5%) was obtained at 81 0C for 28 min immersion period. The lowest hard seed (3.0%) and minimum (0.63%) pathogenic infection was found at same temperature and immersion period. Germination and tetrazolium tests were used throughout the experiment for estimating seed viability. Extreme hot water treatment deteriorated the viability of Sesbania rostrata seeds.
