Therefore, the maintenance of seed viability and vigor during the storage and transportation cannot be more important. Since papaya are tropical crop and the seeds belong to intermediate seeds, the storage condition and dormancy breaking method were less focused in the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA). For helping the seed industry in Taiwan, the objective of this study is aimed to elucidate the desiccation tolerance for developing the best condition for seed storage.木瓜種子中間型種子種子活力種子活勢乾燥忍受度儲藏papaya seedsintermediate seedsseed viabilityseed vigordesiccation tolerancestorage
