This research aimed to determine whether low moisture content storage improves the longevity and storability of Zygophyllum xanthoxylon (Bge.) Maxim seeds. The seeds of Z. xanthoxylon were dried from 11.43 to 4.81%, 3.81 and 2.41% moisture content in a desiccating container with silica gel. After storage for 24 months their level of vigor was measured. After the ageing process, some physiology indices, including the relative electrical conductivity, SOD, PER, CAT, volatile aldehydes and malondialdehyde were tested. The results indicated that SOD, PER and CAT activities of the low moisture content seeds were higher than the control seeds while volatile aldehydes and malondialdehyde were lower than the control group. The electrical conductivity showed that there was obvious statistical difference between low moisture content seeds with the control group. All the results showed that low moisture content storage is beneficial for maintaining the vigor of Z. xanthoxylon seeds. Thus Z. xanthoxylon seeds can be stored with low moisture content at ambient temperature condition for a long time.
