Seed Vigor and Vigor Testing

2001
Seeds, as reproductive units, are expected to produce plants in the field. However, farmers and seed producers have long recognized that the labeled germination often overestimates the actual field emergence of seed lots. This occurs because by definition, germination is the “emergence and development from the seed embryo of those essential structures ...

Seed Vigor and Vigor Tests

1999
Seeds, as reproductive units, are expected to produce plants in the field. However, farmers and seed producers have long recognized that the labeled percent germination often overestimates the actual field emergence of seed lots. This observation is attributed to the objective of a standard germination test which states that germination is the ...

Seed Vigor Testing

Journal of New Seeds, 2000
Over the years, many seed vigor tests have been developed and evaluated. A brief outline of some of the most commonly used tests is supplied.

Effect of Seed Priming on Seed Dormancy and Vigor

2019
Seed dormancy is a prerequisite for preservation and cultivation of crops. The genetic characteristics of seeds and external environmental conditions combinedly influence the seed vigority. Therefore, seed dormancy and vigor can modify the growth, development, and yield capacity of both agronomic and horticultural crops.

Effect of Seed Maturation and Genotype on Seed Vigor in Maize

Crop Science, 1995
High 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.

Combining ability of seed vigor and seed yield in soybean

Euphytica, 2000
Studies 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.

Determination of seed vigor of the pea

2013
Seed 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

2011
The 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, 2015
Proteomics, 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

Protoplasma
Germination 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.
