Abstract
The levels of tocopherol and other anti-oxidants were measured in healthy and aged wheat grams No major reduction in anti-oxidant levels was observed after either natural or artificial ageing, even when carried to the total loss of germination It is concluded that there is little to be gained with respect to seed longevity in wheat by breeding for high tocopherol levelsKeywords
