Studies on the effectiveness of various insecticides and drying in controlling granary weevil (Sitophilus granarius L.) in stored wheat seed : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Agricultural Science (Seed Technology) at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
This study was designed to examine the effects of various insecticidal materials and of repeated seed drying during storage on the population dynamics and survival of Granary Wevil (Sitophilus granarious L.) in wheat.

Rice seed quality development and temperature during late development and maturation [PDF]
The potential longevity of japonica rice (Oryza sativa L. subsp. japonica) seed is particularly sensitive to high temperature – and thus climate change – during development and maturation. Cultivar Taipei 309 was grown at 28/208C (12 h/12 h) and then

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Participatory modeling for managing rainfed lowland rice variety and seed systems in lower Northeast Thailand : methodology and preliminary findings [PDF]
Rainfed lowland rice varietal and seed management involves a complex system dealing with problems such as variety adoption, biodiversity, and the supply of good-quality seed.

Chapter 4: Seed Quality and Seeding Technology
Quality seed is defined as varietally pure with a high germination percentage, free from disease and disease organisms, with a proper moisture content and weight. Quality seed insures good germination, rapid emergence, and vigorous growth. These aspects translate to a good stand (whether greenhouse or field).

Handling Seed to Insure High Seed Quality
Abstract In a broad sense, the term “handling seed”can refer to everything that happens between planting stock seed for a seed crop and planting of commercial seed by a grower. In a narrower sense, the term can refer to events between harvest of a commercial seed crop and planting by a grower.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Sustainable production of organic wheat [PDF]
The aim of the project is to use an ecological approach to analyse the interactions of a range of key agronomic variables in organic wheat production (wheat genotype, spatial arrangement of seed, seed density and wheat/white clover bi-cropping) to ...

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies from Scaling Seeds: Generic Properties of the Correlation Functions [PDF]
In this work we present a partially new method to analyze fluctuations which are induced by causal scaling seeds. We show that the power spectra due to this kind of seed perturbations are determined by five analytic functions, which we determine ...
