Summary
This study suggests that there are no less than two mechanisms involved in the desiccation sensitivity of tea seeds and embryos. Firstly, the desiccation sensitivity of tea embryos occurs predominantly in a quantitative manner with continuous variation under intermediate dehydrated status rather than because of desiccation itself to a critical moisture content (MC). Secondly, desiccation sensitivity is due to the removal of the structural water at MCs of lower than 11.5%, when the embryonic axes are flash-dried.
