Mutual Effect of Drying on Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk.) Seed Viability to Water Critical Level for Storage Indicator
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Deterioration of Jackfruit seed is rush, and it is causing difficulty to store large quantities and or long transport of the seeds. This study objective was to examine the biochemical and physiological aspects of jackfruit seed when it has been deteriorated. The decreasing effect of water content on the seed viability was studied by air drying the seeds namely for 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 hours with three replicates and arranged in a completely randomized design. Seed water content, total viability, potential viability, vigor strength, respiration rate and membrane leakage were measured to determine the effect of jackfruit seed deterioration. The results showed that jackfruit seeds were highly recalcitrant because the viability potential was reduced 50 % with water content of 60.39 %, this recognized as critical water content level, only after 4 hours of air drying.
