Physiological maturity of Physalis angulata L. seeds
Determination of seed physiological maturity allows predicting the most appropriate time for harvest, aiming to obtain seeds with high physiological potential. Physalis angulata (Solanaceae) has pharmacological and agro-industrial potential, but there is

Physiological maturity of eggplant seeds [PDF]
Determination of seed physiological maturity and ideal moment for harvesting fruits to extract their seeds are important aspects to produce seeds with high quality. To identify the best period for harvesting eggplant fruits, associated with ideal resting period of the fruit for extracting seeds, an eggplant production field was installed in ...

Physiological maturation of cowpea seeds [PDF]
The seed maturation process is genetically controlled and involves an arranged sequence of morphological and physiological changes extending from fertilization to its total independence from the mother-plant. These changes also include a set of preparatory phases for the germination process, which are characterized for the synthesis and accumulation of

Relation of harvesting time on physicochemical properties of Haden, Kent, Palmer and Keitt mango varieties for export and local markets [PDF]
Purpose: Fruit ages (early, mid, and late harvest stages) of Haden, Kent, Palmer, and Keitt mango varieties were determined through age-control and established for physiological (early harvest) and eat-ripeness stages (mid and late harvests).
