Galactinol as marker for seed longevity
Plant Science, 2016Reduced seed longevity or storability is a major problem in seed storage and contributes to increased costs in crop production. Here we investigated whether seed galactinol contents could be predictive for seed storability behavior in Arabidopsis, cabbage and tomato.

Longevity of cryogenically stored seeds
Cryobiology, 2004Though cryogenic storage is presumed to provide nearly infinite longevity to cells, the actual shelf life achieved under ultra-cold temperatures has not been addressed theoretically or empirically. Here, we report measurable changes in germination of dried seeds stored under liquid nitrogen conditions for >10 years.

Nature, 1934
THE question of the longevity of buried seeds is always recurring, as witness the recent revival of the fable of mummy wheat. There is abundant evidence that the embryo of the wheat grain perishes relatively soon, in ten years or less under ordinary conditions.

Seed Longevity and Deterioration
1999Seeds are uniquely equipped to survive as viable regenerative organisms until the time and place are right for the beginning of a new generation; however, like any other form of life, they cannot retain their viability indefinitely and eventually deteriorate and die.

Seed Coat Properties and Longevity of Soybean Seeds
Journal of New Seeds, 2010Comparative evaluation of the physical characteristics of seeds, viz. color, size and density, proportion of seed coat, pores on the seed coat surface and “hourglass” cells in the seed coat, and seed longevity was made in 12 soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] varieties.

Evidence for Longevity of Seeds
Nature, 1968EVIDENCE for the longevity of seeds is strongest where there is documentary evidence, as with Albizzia julibrissin collected in 1793 and germinated on a herbarium sheet soaked in the British Museum air raid fire of 1940, or the seed of Nelumbium sp.

American Potato Journal, 1940
Yearly tests were made of potato seed stored for a period of thirteen years under four conditions; viz., (1) In envelope, at room temperature. (2) In bottle, at room temperature. (3) In bottle, at 40° F. (4) In bottle, at 32° F.

The longevity of seagrass seeds
Aquatic Botany, 1991The greatest longevity of seagrass seeds is reported for Syringodium filiforme Kutz. Seefs of Syringodium from Texas continued to germinate for 4 years and 1 month. Halodule wrightii Aschers. seeds from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, continued to germinate for 3 years and 10 months and Halodule uninervis (Forsk.) Aschers.

Seed longevity in rice: Progress and prospects
Plant ScienceSeed longevity is a crucial aspect of seed biology and biotechnology, closely linked not only to previously referred postharvest storage but also to the seed development processes on plants prior to harvest. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating seed longevity within the context of seed development is important for not only the basic ...

Temperature and Seed Storage Longevity
Annals of Botany, 1990Seed survival data for eight diverse species, namely the cereal barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), the grain legumes chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] and soya bean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], the timber trees elm (Ulmus carpinifolia Gleditsch.), mahogany (Swietenia humilis Zucc.), and terb (Terminalia brassii Exell.), and ...
