Seed Storage Reserve Analysis [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2014 One of the major goals of plant research is to improve crop yield, by for instance increasing seed oil or protein content. Besides this, extensive research is done to change seed fatty acid (FA) composition in order to make vegetable oils more suitable ...

Spectroscopic analysis of chia seeds [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractChia seeds are becoming more and more popular in modern diets. In this contribution NIR and 2D-fluorescence spectroscopy were used to determine their nutritional values, mainly fat and protein content. 25 samples of chia seeds were analysed, whereof 9 samples were obtained from different regions in Kenya, 16 samples were purchased in stores in ...

Moisture content and temperature of storage in peach palm seed conservation [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2023 : The peach palm (Bactrisgasipaes) is an important alternative for heart-of-palm extraction, showing precocity, rusticity and high tillering. The seeds of this species are considered recalcitrant making storage for long periods and production of ...

Analysis of the physical properties of spindle seeds for seed sorting operations [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractThe relationships between the basic physical properties of seeds of selected spindle species were evaluated for the needs of seed sorting operations. Physical properties were measured in the seeds of five spindle species, and the presence of relationships between these attributes was determined in correlation and regression analyses.

Seeding Resilient Restoration: An Indicator System for the Analysis of Tree Seed Systems [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Achieving multi-million-hectare commitments from countries around the world to restore degraded lands in resilient and sustainable ways requires, among other things, huge volumes of tree planting material. Seed systems encompassing all forest reproductive material (e.g., seeds, cuttings, stakes, and wildings), are key to ensuring that sufficient ...

Development and Experimental Analysis of a Seeding Quantity Sensor for the Precision Seeding of Small Seeds [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Having the correct seeding rate for a unit area is vital to crop yields. In order to assess the desirable seeding rate, the number of discharged seeds needs to be monitored in real-time. However, for small seeds, the miscounting of seeds during monitoring happens frequently when using conventional seeding quantity sensors, which have wide light beam ...

Proteomic Analysis of Seed Dormancy in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2006 AbstractThe mechanisms controlling seed dormancy in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have been characterized by proteomics using the dormant (D) accession Cvi originating from the Cape Verde Islands. Comparative studies carried out with freshly harvested dormant and after-ripened non-dormant (ND) seeds revealed a specific differential accumulation of

Analysis of the Seeds of the Debt Crisis in Europe [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 This paper presents an analysis of the seeds of the recent debt crisis that occurred in the Eurozone area. We use the model of Fleming and Stein (2004) for the analysis. This model has two risk drivers arising from uncertainties in the return on capital and the effective rate of return on net foreign assets.
