Characterizing the variation in safflower seed viability under different storage conditions through lipidomic and proteomic analyses.

ABSTRACT: The aging of seeds seriously affects their yield. Vacuum and low temperatures have been shown to prolong seed life and delay seed senescence. However, the underlying mechanisms that control these processes in safflower have yet to be explored. Therefore, this study aimed to study the structural, physiological and biochemical changes that occur in safflower seeds stored for one year at different temperatures and sealing conditions. X-ray imaging, germination percentage determination, determination of water content, and TTC staining were utilized to analyze seed structure and viability. The structure of its outer surface was observed by scanning electron microscope, and the changes of catalase activity and malondialdehyde content were determined to understand its physiological and biochemica
