Seeds intended for storage should have high germinability and viability should be monitored by periodical germination tests during storage. Even for the seeds stored under optimal conditions suitable for long-term storage, viability may decrease as a result of deterioration processes such as: an increase of the free radical content, changes in protein structure, depletion of food reserves, acidification of fat, changes in enzymatic activity, membrane damage, chromosomal changes and an increase in respiration (Justice and Bass 1979). These processes manifest at different levels resulting in decreased germinability, production of abnormal seedlings, and even complete loss of viability.... date: 2011 date_type: published publication: Journal of SAT Agricultural Research volume: 9 publisher: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics pagerange: 3pp refereed: TRUE issn: 0973-3094 official_url: http://ejournal.icrisat.org/Volume9/Chickpea_pigeonpea/Rescuing.pdf related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Rescuing+and+regenerating+germplasm+in+large+collections+%E2%80%93+the+case+of+pigeonpea+accession+ICP+9820&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi related_url_type: author citation: Sastry, D V S S R and Upadhyaya, H D and Gowda, C L L (2011) Rescuing and regenerating germplasm in large collections – the case of pigeonpea accession ICP 9820.
