The Balfourodendron riedelianum (Engler) Engler is a native species of great importance that can be used for regeneration of devastated areas, however, the information related to the collection and conservation of seeds are scarce. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify efficient enzymes in monitoring the deterioration and loss of germination of B. riedelianum seeds, as well as determine the constants of longevity equation. Assays were performed in the Seed Technology Laboratory of Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - UNIOESTE, Campus Marechal Cândido Rondon - PR. Seeds were harvested at Diamante do Oeste, Mercedes and Missal - PR, which were submitted for processing, drying, initial characterization and then storing in airtight packaging under controlled storage conditions and uncontrolled. Seed samples were evaluated at 0, 120, 240 and 360 days of storage. The analyzes were: germination test; germination rate index (Maguire), accelerated aging and enzymatic activity of peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase and β-1,3-glucanase. The experiment was a completely randomized design. The results were subjected to regression analysis to 5% of probability. For the development of longevity equations was determined the constants that make up the equation by regression curves. The germination behavior and IVG were similar for all sampling sites, down to 240 days and increased at the end of the storage period. The aging pattern of the seeds was different in the different collection sites, being observed by the activity of enzymes. The decrease in viability of Balfourodendron riedelianum (Engler) Engler can be detected through peroxidase enzyme activity in the local collection of Diamante do Oeste and Missal and through β-1,3-glucanase enzyme of the local collection Missal on 0, 120 and 240 days of storage. The determination of seed longevity was not possible, because the seeds had not presented negative cumulative germination behavior during the storage period
