Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhat happens inside a mango seed when drying destroys its viability?

Research on mango seed drying found membrane damage and reduced enzyme activity as viability declined. The loss is not simply a temporary pause that soaking necessarily reverses. Fresh seed handling should therefore prevent avoidable drying rather than rely on rehydration as a rescue. Specialist experimental storage results should be interpreted with their exact material and methods, not generalized into a home storage recipe.
