Abstract
Seed deterioration is the process of deteriorated seed in view of viability that changed the physiological and chemical content. The aim of this research is to find out the effect of moisture content and storage on viability and biochemical content of jabon putih seed. Completely Randomized Design was used for decreasing moisture content based on seed drying time for 0, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours, and Completely Randomized Factorial Design was used for the combination of moisture content (drying time for 0, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours) and room storage (ambient room, air-conditioned room, refrigerator). The results of this research are: (1) seed drying time and seed storage affected the change of seed viability and biochemical content, (2) seed drying time and seed storage influence significantly the value of moisture content, germination percentage, and biochemical content (lipid, carbohydrate, protein), (3) The longer time of seed drying and seed storage has decreased the seed moisture content, germination percentage, and the carbohydrate content, but it has increased the content of lipid and protein, and (4) the seeds were stored in refrigerator has better viability compared to dry cold storage and ambient room.
Highlights
Jabon putih (Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb) Miq.) is belong to the family of Rubiaceae
Treatments of seed drying that made some difference to the moisture content, germination percentage and biochemical content of the seeds can be seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2
Based on the results indicate that during the drying there was a change in the viability and biochemical content of the seeds of jabon putih
Summary
Jabon putih (Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb) Miq.) is belong to the family of Rubiaceae. Considering its potential, jabon putih as a timber-forest species are very good to be developed. Increasing the number and quality of the seeds need to be considered to ensure the procurement of plant material in the planting program. Such improvements, including through the right time in the seed collection, good seed handling and right and secure storage. If these phases followed the planting program is likely to be more successful
