Studies on Physiological and Biochemical Changes in Relation to Seed Viability in Aged Onion Seeds

Rapid loss in viability of onion seeds during seed storage is a major problem. Not much information concerning the physiological and biochemical changes is available. In the present investigations, seeds were aged artificially by exposure to 45°C+75% RH for a period of fifteen days. Samples were col...
