The decay of seeds is irreversible and at best can only be delayed by applying techniques that reduce the velocity of the metabolic reactions involved. There is little information on the biochemistry of tropical forest tree seeds related to their storability. It was investigated the influence of the composition of lipids and soluble sugars of two storage compartments, the cotyledons and the embryonic axis, of Melanoxylon brauna Schot. (Leguminosae- Caesalpinioideae), a hardwood known as black brauna, seeds stored at 20 ºC for 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months (natural ageing) and for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours at 40 ºC (accelerated ageing). The levels of fatty acids and monosaccharides varied differentially in each of the embryo storage compartments. Changes in oligosaccharide levels were similar for both types of ageing, diminishing in both compartments. Ageing can be attributed to the significant decrease of oligosaccharides and the increase of glucose in both types of ageing and both embryo compartments.

Nothofagus alpina,N. obliqua,N. glauca,N. leonii,N. dombeyiandN. pumilioseeds exhibited consistent, albeit slight, sensitivity to extreme desiccation, but nevertheless maintained viability at low moisture contents and cool temperatures (–10° to –20°C) over 2 years.Nothofagus alpina,N. obliqua,N. glauca,N. leoniiandN. dombeyiconformed to the seed viability equation of Ellis and Roberts; sensitivity of longevity to temperature was quantitatively similar to that of crop seeds, sensitivity to moisture was somewhat less, and a low-moisture-content limit to the equation was detected at 4.8% moisture content in hermetic storage at 65 °C, and possibly similar moisture contents at 30–40°C. These five species show orthodox seed storage behaviour. Therefore,ex-situconservation of theseNothofagusspecies in seed banks is possible, but the quality of seed lots collected requires attention. Seed storage behaviour was not defined inN. pumilio: initial seed quality was poor and loss of viability was detected over 2 years at 0°, –10° and –20°C at 2.7% moisture content, but not at 5.2%. The results confirm that the economy of nature in seed storage physiology extends to forest tree seeds, but the repeated observation of reduced sensitivity of longevity to moisture in forest tree seeds requires further investigation.

Analysis of Albesia Seed Pathership Pattern Between CV Flora Bali in Karangasem Regency with UD Tunas Jaya in Klungkung Regency Cultivation of forest crops can involve various parties, among others, business entities, government, non-governmental organizations and private parties One of the private parties who market forest tree seeds is UD Tunas Jaya. Business partnership relationship between UD Tunas Jaya with CV. Flora Bali in its journey there has been no further analysis of the mechanism of partnership and what benefits have been obtained. This study aims to determine the pattern of partnership business seeds of forest plants between CV. Flora Bali with UD.Tunas Jaya in Pempatan Village, Rendang Sub-district, Karangasem Regency. This research is descriptive conducted at CV Flora Bali and Tunas Jaya by collecting data through in-depth interview and observation. Quantitative data analysis is done by using analysis of farming. The result of the research shows the partnership pattern that has been done between CV Flora Bali and UD Tunas Jaya in the form of Subcontract which is the pattern of partnership relationship between the business partner company that is UD Tunas Jaya with the business partner that produces the seed of forest plant that is CV Flora Bali. The distinctive feature of this subcontract partnership form is to make a joint contract that includes volume, price and time. CV Flora Bali with UD Tunas Jaya in the subcontract partnership pattern is the increase of productivity, labor efficiency and time, the seeds produced in the quality, quantity, and continuity are acceptable to the consumer, social relationships, and increase the income and welfare for the perpetrator Partnership.
