Abstract: | The effect of moisture content on the low temperature responsesof 'recalcitrant' Araucaria hunsteinii seed and excised embryoswas investigated in relation to germination and storage. At6°C seed longevity was decreased as mean moisture contentwas reduced from 45 to 30% (fresh weight basis); the time predictedfor the loss of one probit of germination, |
