Alleviation of Imbibitional Chilling Injury by Use of Lanolin
1986
Priestly, David A. | Leopold, A Carl
Imbibitional chilling of seeds is generally associated with rapid entry of water in the cold. A means of alleviating chilling injury would be to retard the entry of water in the cold. Attempts to slow the rate of imbibition of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], corn (Zea mays L.) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds through the application of a thin coat of lanolin (20 to 30 g kg⁻¹ seed) provided alleviation of chilling injury in the chilling susceptible soybean and cotton.
