Challenges Facing Seed Banks and Agriculture in Relation to Seed Quality
2011Seeds form a convenient vehicle for storage of germplasm, both for agricultural purposes and conservation of wild species. When required, seeds can be taken from storage and germinated, and plants can be propagated for the desired purpose, e.g., crop production or biome restoration.

After dispersal most seeds undergo a period of dormancy. Depending on the species and the prevailing conditions, dormancy may last from a few days to many decades (or longer). In some species it is normal for a proportion of the seeds to become incorporated into the soil and become part of a store or ‘bank’ of seeds which can be drawn upon ...

Seed banks and seed population dynamics of halophytes
Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2001In this review I will describe the importance of seed banks and thepopulation dynamics of seeds on the distribution of species in salinehabitats. The main questions being examined in this review include: 1.Does the seed bank represent the flora of the entire salinity gradient or isit restricted to the species in each zonal community? 2.

Seed Germination and Seed-Bank Ecology in Halophytes
2017Halophytes have evolved characteristics to adjust to the stressful conditions in their native habitats by means of a number of different adaptive responses at the germination stage of development. The level of expression of salt tolerance by plants at the germination stage cannot always be correlated with tolerance at later stages of development.
