Summary: The objective of this study was to examine whether the X-ray may be successfully used to detect physical abnormalities, and relate their occurrence with physiological potential of tetsukabuto type squash seeds. Fruits were harvested at different maturation stages (15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 days after anthesis - DAA) and temporarily or not stored for 20 days. Seeds were radiographed using an intensity of 25 kV for 40 seconds and then germinated under alternating temperatures of 20-30 ºC.
