Differentially expressed seed aging responsive heat shock protein OsHSP18.2 implicates in seed vigor, longevity and improves germination and seedling establishment under abiotic stress [PDF]
Small heat shock proteins (sHSP) are a diverse group of proteins and are highly abundant in plant species. Although majority of these sHSPs were shown to express specifically in seed, their potential function in seed physiology remains to be fully ...

Soybean seeds treated with zinc evaluated by X-ray micro-fluorescence spectroscopy
Zinc (Zn) is a micronutrient considered essential to plants which can be supplied through seed treatment. The treatment of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds with Zn, however, is still not well known as regards the uptake and mobilization dynamics of

Physiological maturity of eggplant seeds [PDF]
Determination of seed physiological maturity and ideal moment for harvesting fruits to extract their seeds are important aspects to produce seeds with high quality. To identify the best period for harvesting eggplant fruits, associated with ideal resting period of the fruit for extracting seeds, an eggplant production field was installed in ...

Physiological potential of chickpea seeds [PDF]
The chickpea crop is grown predominantly in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. India is the largest producing country, in Brazil production is scarce, leading the country to import almost all of what is consumed. Grains are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins and even essential amino acids.

Physiological potential of eggplant seeds [PDF]
The use and efficiency of vigor tests depend on the plant species and the development and, or adjustment of methodology, to obtain efficient procedures for evaluating seed physiological potential. The objective of this study was to compare different methods for evaluating the physiological potential of eggplant seeds (Solanum melongena L).
