Cowpea and corn seeds were germinated for 72 hours at 12 hour increments and subsequently, dehydrated over silica gel for 24 hours. Seedlings not subjected to dehydration served as controls. The stage of germinations sensitive to dehydration and extent of cellular damage were evaluated through the determination of percent survival, seedling vigour, fresh weight increment, and cytoplasmic leakage. Cowpea seedlings were found to be more tolerant to dehydration compared with corn seedlings of similar age. The total lipid and fatty acid levels did not relate to the effects of dehydration reflected by the other indicators of cellular damage
