As a rule of thumb:

When the moisture content of seeds is reduced by 1% and the storage temperature is reduced by 5°C, the life of the seeds becomes doubled.

Examples:

If a seed with a moisture level of 14% has a two-year storage life, it can be extended to four years if the moisture content is reduced to 13%.

If a seed's predicted life in a storage chamber with a 15°C temperature is 3 years, it can be extended to 6 years by lowering the storage temperature to 10°C.

When the seed's moisture content and storage temperature are both reduced, the seed's life span is extended.
