title: [Relation between storage stability and molecular mobility in cells of seed and pollen].
abstract: In recent years, it is possible to know the optimal storage conditions of seeds and pollen from the relationship between storage stability and molecular mobility, which can be successfully determined by techniques of spin probe, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and saturation transfer electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ST-EPRS). This is theoretically and practically important to germplasm conservation. This review focuses on the current advances in the research of molecular mobility and storage stability of seed and pollen.
