Ocotea puberula Seed Viability and DNA Integrity During 9-Month Storage

Experimental data on the viability and DNA integrity of Ocotea puberula seeds stored with and without fruit over nine months. The study measured water content, germination potential, tetrazolium test results, and DNA integrity at 0, 3, 6, and 9-month intervals under controlled conditions. The research was conducted by Dalciana Vicente and is available via Open Access.

Use Cases

• Modeling seed viability decline over time based on germination percentage data.
• Analyzing the correlation between DNA integrity and seed germination potential.
• Comparing storage outcomes for seeds stored with versus without fruit based on the described experimental design.

Strengths

• Data includes specific, controlled storage conditions (40% ± 3% RH; 10 °C ± 2 °C).
• Multiple quantitative attributes measured: water content, germination percentage, tetrazolium test percentage, and DNA integrity.
• Experimental design includes a defined time series with measurements at 0, 3, 6, and 9 months.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
