“…During these periods, there was high water absorption and fungi, which probably contributed to the decline in physiological seed quality. The occurrence of fungi after accelerated aging was also reported by Moraes et al (2016), in T. fuchsiaefolia seeds, and Duarte et al (2017), in watermelon seeds, whose (A) (B) S11 = 10,7491 -0,1337x + 0,0003x 2 R 2 = 0,94 S12 = 9,1224 + 0,0981x -0,0037x 2 + 0,00001x 3 R 2 = 0,95 S13 = 9,59005/(1 + e 0,06338(x -66,54604) ) R 2 = 0,93 S14 = 10,67374/(1 + e 0,09482(x -45,55315) ) R 2 = 0,99 S15 = 10,91508/1 + e 0,065779(x -47,22536) ) R 2 = 0,92 S11 = 8,6228 + 0,0893x -0,0037x 2 + 0,00002x 3 R 2 = 0,95 S12 = 10,0672 + 0,0794x -0,0037x 2 + 0,00002x 3 R 2 = 0,98 S13 = 9,6857 -0,0705x R 2 = 0,91 S14 = 9,7119 + 0,0783x -0,0033x 2 + 0,00001x 3 R 2 = 0,96 S15 = 9,8686 + 0,0645x -0,0033x 2 + 0,00001x 3 R 2 = 0,98 reduced viability was attributed to contamination by pathogenic microorganisms, as a consequence of AA, causing decreased seed vigor.…”
