Seed ageing, survival, and the improved seed viability equation; forty years on [PDF]
, 2022 Seed Science and Technology published ‘The quantification of ageing and survival in orthodox seeds’ four decades ago. That paper explained the improved seed viability equation, which quantifies seed longevity in response to storage environment, and the ...

, 2011 Euterpe Mulls is a key ecological species in the Atlantic forest. However, illegal plant extraction has lowered its natural occurrence in many areas. A previous study showed that gibherellic acid (GA(3)) applied 12 days after sowing (DAS) increases the ...

The effect of flow and orography on the spatial distribution of the very short-term predictability of rainfall from composite radar images [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The spatial distribution and scale dependence of the very short-term predictability of precipitation by Lagrangian persistence of composite radar images is studied under different flow regimes in connection with the presence of orographic features.

Seed Health Testing: Doing Things Right
PhytoFrontiers, 2023 Since seeds can be a route for pathogen introduction, they are routinely inspected and tested to prevent pest outbreaks and introduction into new territories. The need for high throughput, short lead times, and cost reduction has played an important role

Seed-to-Seed-to-Seed Growth and Development of Arabidopsis in Microgravity [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2014 Arabidopsis thaliana was grown from seed to seed wholly in microgravity on the International Space Station. Arabidopsis plants were germinated, grown, and maintained inside a growth chamber prior to returning to Earth. Some of these seeds were used in a subsequent experiment to successfully produce a second (back-to-back) generation of microgravity ...

Seed certification and maize, rice, and cowpea productivity in Nigeria
, 2023 Despite the potential importance of seed quality to agricultural productivity growth, many governments in sub-Saharan Africa lack the capacity to expand quality assurance systems even where there is expressed interest.

optimal conditions determination for standard germination test of Asafoetida (Ferula assa-foetida) seeds [PDF]
علوم و فناوری بذر ایران, 2023 Ferula assa-foetida is one of the important medicinal plants of Apiaceae that has been exposed to extinction with repeated withdrawals from its natural habitat. Study of seed germination behavior of this species can lead to the development of cultivation

New Phytologist, 1987 SummaryThe involvement of four factors (life history, predation, possession of a persistent seed bank and seedling establishment) in the evolution of seed size in flowering plants is discussed. Among herbacaeous plants, biennials seem to have larger seeds than annuals and perennials, a difference which may explain the capacity of some biennials to ...

Influence of multiplicative stochastic variation on translational elongation rates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Experimental data indicate that stochastic effects exerted at the level of translation contribute substantially to the variation in abundance of proteins expressed at moderate to high levels.
