Combining ability of seed vigor and seed yield in soybean
Euphytica, 2000Studies have shown no consensus in relationships between seed yield and vigor in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. The lack of information regarding the inheritance of seed vigor prompted this study to determine the types of gene action and combining ability estimates for seed vigor and its related traits.

Effect of Seed Maturation and Genotype on Seed Vigor in Maize
Crop Science, 1995High quality seed is the goal of all corn (Zea mays L.) seed producers. The objective of this investigation was to relate several indicators of seed maturity [black layer (BL), milk line (ML)], to seed vigor (cold test and conductivity) over a wide range of dent corn genotypes and environments.

Determination of seed vigor of the pea
2013Seed producers regularly control seed before the distribution. Some of those methods are standard (standard germination – SG, germination energy – GE, 1000 grain mass) but some which would show reaction of the seed on unfavorable conditions in the field are not regular (cold test – CT, elctrical conductivity – EC).

Protein Damage and Repair Controlling Seed Vigor and Longevity
2011The formation of abnormal isoaspartyl residues derived from aspartyl or asparaginyl residues is a major source of spontaneous protein misfolding in cells. The repair enzyme protein L: -isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT) counteracts such damage by catalyzing the conversion of abnormal isoaspartyl residues to their normal aspartyl forms.

Proteomics of seed development, desiccation tolerance, germination and vigor
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015Proteomics, the large-scale study of the total complement of proteins in a given sample, has been applied to all aspects of seed biology mainly using model species such as Arabidopsis or important agricultural crops such as corn and rice. Proteins extracted from the sample have typically been separated and quantified by 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel

Smoke–water treatment of seeds, an ancient technique for increasing seed vigor
ProtoplasmaGermination is an essential phenomenon in the life cycle of plants, and a variety of external and internal factors influence it. Fire and the produced smoke have been vital environmental stimulants for the germination of seeds in many plant species, like Leucospermum cordifolium and Serruria florida.

[Effects of seed priming on vigor of Prunella vulgaris seeds].
Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica, 2009To select an effective way to enhance vigor of Prunella vulgaris seeds.Three population seeds were treated at the 20 degrees C and dark enviroment.Priming with 20% - 30% PEG and 200 - 400 mg x L(-1) GA3 could enhance seeds germination and vigor. Germination percentage of three population seeds treated with 0. 6% - 3.0% NaCl reduced, but they started to

Seed Vigor Test for the Establishment of Switchgrass
2009Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), a high-yielding perennial C4 prairie grass species, is a top candidate as a bioenergy feedstock for cellulosic ethanol production. Seedling establishment is a primary concern given the inherent variability in switchgrass seed dormancy. Determining current states of seed quality in terms of emergence percentage is crucial
