Seed Longevity in Legumes: Deeper Insights Into Mechanisms and Molecular Perspectives [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Sustainable agricultural production largely depends upon the viability and longevity of high-quality seeds during storage. Legumes are considered as rich source of dietary protein that helps to ensure nutritional security, but associated with poor seed ...

Seed Longevity—The Evolution of Knowledge and a Conceptual Framework [PDF]

Plants, 2023
The lifespan or longevity of a seed is the time period over which it can remain viable. Seed longevity is a complex trait and varies greatly between species and even seed lots of the same species.

Seed Longevity is Controlled by Metacaspases [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Abstract To survive extreme desiccation, seeds enter dormancy that can last millennia. This dormancy involves the accumulation of protective but structurally disordered storage proteins through unknown adjustments of proteolytic surveillance mechanisms.

Seed Longevity and Ageing: A Review on Physiological and Genetic Factors with an Emphasis on Hormonal Regulation [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Upon storage, seeds inevitably age and lose their viability over time, which determines their longevity. Longevity correlates with successful seed germination and enhancing this trait is of fundamental importance for long-term seed storage (germplasm ...

Insights into mechanisms of seed longevity in soybean: a review [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Soybean, a crop of international importance, is challenged with the problem of seed longevity mainly due to its genetic composition and associated environmental cues.

Genetic Variability in Seed Longevity and Germination Traits in a Tomato MAGIC Population in Contrasting Environments [PDF]

Plants, 2023
The stable production of high vigorous seeds is pivotal to crop yield. Also, a high longevity is essential to avoid progressive loss of seed vigour during storage. Both seed traits are strongly influenced by the environment during seed development. Here,

Seed longevity is controlled by metacaspases [PDF]

Nature Communications
To survive extreme desiccation, seeds enter a period of quiescence that can last millennia. Seed quiescence involves the accumulation of protective storage proteins and lipids through unknown adjustments in protein homeostasis (proteostasis).

Transcription Factor DOF4.1 Regulates Seed Longevity in Arabidopsis via Seed Permeability and Modulation of Seed Storage Protein Accumulation [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Seed longevity is modulated by multiple genetic factors in Arabidopsis thaliana. A previous genome-wide association study using the Elevated Partial Pressure of Oxygen (EPPO) aging assay pinpointed a genetic locus associated with this trait.

Population structure and genetic diversity characterization of soybean for seed longevity [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
Seed longevity is an important trait in the context of germplasm conservation and economics of seed production. The identification of populations with high level of genetic variability for seed longevity and associated traits will become a valuable ...
