Adaptation of tetrazolium test methodology to estimate the viability of Eugenia stipitata McVaugh ssp. sororia McVaugh seeds [PDF]

Hoehnea, 2023
The tetrazolium test is a fast and effective method to determine seed viability. In this context, the objective was to adapt the methodology of the tetrazolium test, in relation to preconditioning, to determine the viability (Eugenia stipitata McVaugh ...

Effect of Planting Density and K2O:N Ratio on the Yield, External Quality, and Traders' Perceived Shelf Life of Pineapple Fruits in Benin

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Quality, shelf life, and yield of a pineapple fruit are the important attributes for the producers and customers in the pineapple value chain of Benin, whereas poor quality, short shelf life, and low yield are the main constraints.

Genetic Analysis of Seed-Soluble Oligosaccharides in Relation to Seed Storability of Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2000
Abstract Seed oligosaccharides (OSs) and especially raffinose series OSs (RSOs) are hypothesized to play an important role in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance and consequently in seed storability. In the present work we analyzed the seed-soluble OS (sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose) content of several Arabidopsis accessions and ...

Microarray Analysis of Developing Arabidopsis Seeds [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2000
Abstract To provide a broad analysis of gene expression in developing Arabidopsis seeds, microarrays have been produced that display approximately 2,600 seed-expressed genes. DNA for genes spotted on the arrays were selected from >10,000 clones partially sequenced from a cDNA library of developing seeds.

Updated Methods for Seed Shape Analysis [PDF]

Scientifica, 2016
Morphological variation in seed characters includes differences in seed size and shape. Seed shape is an important trait in plant identification and classification. In addition it has agronomic importance because it reflects genetic, physiological, and ecological components and affects yield, quality, and market price.

Metabolomic analysis of tomato seed germination [PDF]

Metabolomics, 2017
Seed germination is inherently related to seed metabolism, which changes throughout its maturation, desiccation and germination processes. The metabolite content of a seed and its ability to germinate are determined by underlying genetic architecture and environmental effects during development.This study aimed to assess an integrative approach to ...
