Persistence of Triticale Seed in the Soil Seed Bank
Crop Science, 2012ABSTRACTSpring triticale (×Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus) is being developed as a bio‐product crop for the Canadian prairies and may involve the use of genetic modification. Seed loss before or during harvest from genetically modified (GM) triticale could impact its ability to coexist with conventional crops.

This chapter summarizes current ideas about various aspects of seed bank ecology. Although most plant communities have at least some persistent seeds in the soil, the size of seed banks varies greatly from one habitat to another. Thompson and Silvertown present tables of data on seed density in soils from a wide range of studies.

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.
