Characterization of developing coffee (Coffea arabica) seeds. Sampling was carried out at seven phenological stages from aqueous perisperm to ripe endosperm. Changes in perisperm (open circles) and endosperm (closed circles) dry mass (a), relative proportion (b) and water content (c). Error bars indicate ± SD of repetitions (n = 3). Changes in seed content (d) in lipids (closed diamonds), chlorogenic acids (open triangles), sucrose (closed squares), hexoses (open squares), and cell-wall polysaccharides (open diamonds). The secondary y axis is for cell wall polysaccharides.
