The initial moisture content of the seeds was 12.3%. However, it was found that after pre-wetting, Phase II of the three-phase model of hydration reached moisture between 69.9 and 77.3% for 33 and 153 hours of hydration, respectively (Figure 1). In this hydration period, the seeds completed Phase II with radicle emission, thereby being observed that this hydration period is sufficient to reactivate the embryo metabolism.
