Abstract: Considerable advances in our understanding of coffee seed physiology have been made in recent years. However, despite intense research efforts, there are many aspects that remain unclear. This paper gives an overview of the current understanding of the more important features concerning coffee seed physiology, and provides information on recent findings on seed development, germination, storage and longevity.

“…It is noted that lot V, characterized as the best germination potential, had a shorter time for germination process, since in the thirteenth day virtually all the seeds had already germinated (Figure 1). In general, these results corroborate with EIRA et al (2006), about the physiology and germination of coffee seed, in which on the tenth day 50% of coffee seeds showed root protrusion, and on the fi fteenth day most seeds have already germinated.…”

“…Loss of seed dry mass may be due to interruption of the translocation of photoassimilates from the fruit to the seed, seed deterioration and substrate consumption by respiration. In fact, respiration of the pulp increases during ripening, as does markedly the sugar content (Eira et al, 2006).…”

“…length, diameter, volume, fresh and dry mass etc. ), fruit component parts (whole fruit, seed or embryos), sampling frequency, statistical models and coffee species, variety or even clones (Wormer, 1964;Salazar-Gutiérrez et al, 1994;Eira et al, 2006;Ronchi and DaMatta, 2007). For example, within C. canephora, both fresh and dry mass increase approximately linearly over time, as found in some studies in robusta coffee (Ramaiah and Vasudeva, 1969), whereas in other investigations only either fresh mass (Srinivasan et al, 1978) or dry mass (Dancer, 1964;Oyebade, 1976) account for the linear pattern of fruit growth.…”

“…Long periods of seed maturation were also described for other species, as exampled by Cedrela fissilis (8-9 months), Coffea sp. (7-12 months), Hypodiscus aristatus (18 months), and some palms (from 180 to 400 days -Chapin, 1999;Corvello et al, 1999;Dussert et al, 2000;Newton et al, 2002;Eira et al, 2006;Pérez et al, 2012). Despite the long time needed to complete seed development and maturation, the major changes were observed just at the end of the process when the fruits become brown at the same time they become rigid (S13), and could indicate last stage before dehiscence.…”
