Aging of Seats pine seeds (Pinus sylvestris L.) leads to changes in seed quality, such as loss of germinability, delayed growth and abnormality in developing seedlings. The knowledge of biochemical changes responsible for these aging processes is plentiful in some seeds, which are of world-wide interest, but for pine seeds these studies are rare. The aim of the present study, mras to analyse pine seeds of varying ages in order to identify biochemical changes occurring in aged pine seeds, and to see if a correlation existed between these results and traditionally used seed-quality parameters, such as germinability and electrolyte leakage.
