Recalcitrant seed conservation of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) by desiccation and invigoration
Konservasi vigor benih rekalsitran kakao (Theobroma cacao L.) dengan penurunan kadar air dan proses ingorasinya
Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of desiccation and invigoration on viability of cacao seed during conservation period. The study consisted of three experiments. 1) Effect of desiccation on seed viability (physiological indication) and membrane leakage, free fatty acid, peroxidation value, isoenzyme peroxidase, esterase, acid phosphatase (biochemical indication), 2) Status of cellular damage on cacao seed due to desiccation, 3) Effect of desiccation and invigoration on respiration rate and seed viability.
