Why Seed Physiology Is Important for Genebanking [PDF]

Plants, 2020
Genebank management is a field in its own right; it is multifaceted, requiring a diverse set of skills and knowledge. Seed physiology is one area that is critical to the successful operation of seed genebanks, requiring understanding of seed quality during development and maturation, seed dormancy and germination, and seed longevity in storage of the ...

Phenotyping chickpeas and pigeonpeas for adaptation to drought

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
The chickpea and pigeonpea are protein rich grain legumes used for human consumption in many countries. Grain yield of these crops is low to moderate in the semi-arid tropics with large variation due to high GxE interaction.

A pragmatic protocol for seed viability monitoring in ex situ plant genebanks

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution
Seed viability monitoring is standard practice in genebanks and is performed to assess whether seeds of an accession are of good quality or need to be regenerated to prevent loss of the accession. A precise assessment of seed viability is labor-intensive,
