Reserve carbohydrates and lipids from the seeds of four tropical tree species with different sensitivity to desiccation
Considering the importance of water content for the conservation and storage of seeds, and the involvement of soluble carbohydrates and lipids for embryo development, a comparative study was carried out among the seeds of Inga vera (ingá), Eugenia uniflora (pitanga), both classified as recalcitrant,...
