HortScience, 1991 INTRODUCTION Ewart (1908) and Harrington (1972) provided summary lists of species with seeds that were short-lived, survived for moderately long periods, or survived for very long periods. Time is only one of several variables of concern, however; seed longevity is influenced markedly by the storage environment. Ambient environments in tropical regions

A role for seed storage proteins inArabidopsisseed longevity [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015 Proteomics approaches have been a useful tool for determining the biological roles and functions of individual proteins and identifying the molecular mechanisms that govern seed germination, vigour and viability in response to ageing. In this work the dry seed proteome of four Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes, that carry introgression fragments at the ...

Nature, 1915 IN the note in NATURE of January 7 (p. 515) upon Mr. Shull's paper in the Plant World, referring to the longevity of seeds, it is stated that this “is a subject on which specific information is always desirable.” The following, therefore, may at least contribute suggestion.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Seed priming is a commercially used technique for improving seed performance including germination. However, the treatment sometimes reduces seed longevity as a side effect, limiting the storable period or longevity of the seeds. To overcome this problem,

Seed Longevity Potential Predicted by Radicle Emergence (RE) Vigor Test in Watermelon Seed Cultivars
Horticulturae, 2023 The study was conducted to test whether radicle emergence (RE) would correlate with the storage potential of ten seed lots of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai) hybrid cultivars (>98% normal germination).

Molecular genetic bases of seed resistance to oxidative stress during storage
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020 Conservation of plant genetic diversity, including economically important crops, is the foundation for food safety. About 90 % of the world’s crop genetic diversity is stored as seeds in genebanks.

Membrane chemical stability and seed longevity [PDF]
European Biophysics Journal, 2009 Here, we investigate the relationships between the chemical stability of the membrane surface and seed longevity. Dry embryos of long-lived tomato and short-lived onion seeds were labeled with 5-doxyl-stearic acid (5-DS). Temperature-induced loss of the electron spin resonance signal caused by chemical conversion of 5-DS to nonparamagnetic species was ...

Some agricultural aspects of seed longevity (literature review)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 There has been a vast and numerous literature concerning seed longevity. Most of these works however has focused solely on theoretical and biological aspects of this problem. Some works although deal with practical problems of seed storage.

Seed longevity phenotyping: recommendations on research methodology [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018 The length of time for which seed lots maintain their viability and vigour in storage has become a trait of interest for rice and other crop and model species. However, different research groups have taken different approaches to measuring this trait, including storing seeds under 'natural ageing', accelerated ageing, and controlled deterioration test ...

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 1992 Abstract Cereal crops were harvested at different stages of maturity and threshed immediately or after drying in the field. The threshed seeds were dried and stored at different moisture contents. Low moisture content increased seed longevity, but threshing at a premature stage caused some damage.
