Desiccation-induced loss of seed viability is associated with a 10-fold increase in CO2 evolution in seeds of the rare tropical rainforest tree Idiospermum australiense
• Here the relationship was investigated between metabolic activity, state of hydration and seed viability in the desiccation-intolerant (recalcitrant) seeds of Idiospermum australiense, a rare and primitive angiosperm tree restricted to wet tropical forest. • Seed CO2 evolution rate, R, was monit...
