Proteomic Analysis of Seed Dormancy in Arabidopsis [PDF]
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

Rice Seed Germination Analysis
This research aimed to develop the computer software called “Rice Seed Germination Analysis (RiSGA)” which could predict rice seed image for rice germination by using an image processing technique. The RiSGA consisted of five main process modules: 1) image acquisition, 2) image pre-processing, 3) feature extraction, 4) quality control analysis and 5 ...
