Leakage of Reducing Sugards and Amino Acids During Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Seed Imbibation

Leakage of reducing sugars and amino acids during cotton seed imbibition was evaluated as a possible vigor test. Seed samples from a single cotton seed lot were subjected to accelerated aging at 46°C and 100% R.H. for up to 216 hours. Aged seeds were imbibed at optimal and suboptimal temperatures, a...
