The SEED and the Rapid Annotation of microbial genomes using Subsystems Technology (RAST)
In 2004, the SEED (http://pubseed.theseed.org/) was created to provide consistent and accurate genome annotations across thousands of genomes and as a platform for discovering and developing de novo annotations.

Development of a Multiplex RT-PCR for the Simultaneous Detection of Five Viruses and Viroids in Peach [PDF]
A multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) assay was developed for the simultaneous detection of three viruses and two viroids infecting peach trees, including apple chlorotic leaf spot virus, plum bark necrosis stem pitting ...

Seed Health Testing: Doing Things Right
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

optimal conditions determination for standard germination test of Asafoetida (Ferula assa-foetida) seeds [PDF]
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

The Subread aligner: fast, accurate and scalable read mapping by seed-and-vote
Read alignment is an ongoing challenge for the analysis of data from sequencing technologies. This article proposes an elegantly simple multi-seed strategy, called seed-and-vote, for mapping reads to a reference genome.

The organic seed regulations framework in Europe – current status and recommendations for future development [PDF]
Organic agriculture regulations, in particular European regulation EC 889/2008, prescribe the use of organically produced seed. For many cultivated plants, however, organic seed is often not available.

Influence of multiplicative stochastic variation on translational elongation rates. [PDF]
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.

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication
It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as
