Seed storage is often accompanied by a progressive loss of germination vigour and viability. In the present study, we have used Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. seeds as a model, and carried out differential proteomics to investigate seed vigour. In our system, based on a controlled deterioration treatment (CDT), we compared seed lots treated for ...

Journal of Forestry, 1933
Abstract From an extensive study of the influence of the source of seed of shortleaf pine, pitch pine, tulip poplar and white ash upon its quality, the author concludes that size of fruit is a poor index, but that weight is roughly proportional to germinative energy and seedling vigor; that the source as to location in the crown, has ...

The seed is one of the most important factors in the production of the sugar-beet root crop, particularly since the change from multigerm varieties sown at high seed rates to monogerm varieties which are usually planted to a stand without subsequent thinning. Sugar beet is a biennial plant, and although the root crop which provides the raw material for

Seed quality refers to a number of seed properties which may have varying degrees of practical importance for agriculture. As well as the traditional purity and germination capacity of seedlots, seed quality also includes species purity, cultivar purity, vigour, seed size, seedlot uniformity, seed health and seed moisture content.

Modern varieties are backbone of formal seed industry. The availability, access, and use of quality seed of adaptable crop varieties, are critical in increasing agricultural productivity, ensuring food security, and improving farmers livelihoods. However, research in legumes particularly lentil is relatively new compared to cereals both at IARCs and ...

Seed Quality and Microorganisms
2020A high germination percentage and vigor level are two very important characteristics of high-quality seeds (Thomson, 1979). Unfortunately for agriculture and horticulture, seed germination and vigor can be markedly reduced by a number of factors, including the action of microorganisms (i.e., bacteria and fungi), viruses, and nematodes.

Effect of seeding date on canola seed quality and seed vigour
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2004Seedling vigour is a key critical component to produce well-established canola (Brassica napus) seedlings under less than ideal conditions in western Canada. Our objective was to determine if seed lots from late October (fall) or early spring (April) seeding dates improve seed vigour relative to mid-May (May) seeding dates. We compared seed size, seed

Seed Science Research, 1998
AbstractGrowers expect high-quality, genetically pure seed. As a result, seed companies maintain quality control programmes that monitor seed from harvest to purchase. An array of ‘traditional’ seed quality tests, including mechanical tests and tests of genetic purity, seed germination and vigour, and seed health tests, is used, and seed quality ...

Farmer’s seed sources and seed quality: 2. seed health
2013The study assessed the health quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seed samples collected from formal and informal sector in Ethiopia and Syria. In Ethiopia, several seed-borne fungi were found on wheat samples: Cochliobolus sativum, Fusarium avenaceum, F. graminearum, F. nivale, F. poae and Septoria nodorum.

Challenges Facing Seed Banks and Agriculture in Relation to Seed Quality
2011Seeds form a convenient vehicle for storage of germplasm, both for agricultural purposes and conservation of wild species. When required, seeds can be taken from storage and germinated, and plants can be propagated for the desired purpose, e.g., crop production or biome restoration.
