Free radical processes and loss of seed viability during desiccation in the recalcitrant species Quercus robur L

Loss of moisture in mature seeds of Quercus robur L. was associated with loss of viability, a rise in lipid peroxidation and build-up of free radicals. Radical-initiated damage was largely confined to the embryonic axes as their moisture contents declined to below 47 %. The accumulation of a stable...
