Muskmelon seed priming in relation to seed vigor [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2004 A number of important factors may affect seed priming response, including seed quality. Effects of seed vigor on seed priming response were investigated using seed lots of two muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars. Seeds of muskmelon, cvs. Mission and Top Net SR were artificially aged at 43°C for 0, 20 and 40 hours.

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2012 Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using “-omics” approaches support the finding that a main contributor of seed germination success is the quality of the messenger RNAs stored during embryo maturation on the mother ...

Improving sorghum seed vigor by priming
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 Abstract Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is the fifth most important cereal that is widely used for food, feed, and industrial purposes. Sorghum is cultivated mostly in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Sorghum seed viability and vigor influence its productivity by affecting crop growth and stand establishment. Invigoration

DOES SEED VIGOR INFLUENCE CROP YIELD? [PDF]
HortScience, 1991 Both seed viability and vigor directly affect the performance of seeds planted to regenerate the crop. Although seed quality can influence many aspects of performance (e.g., total emergence, rate of emergence), this presentation will primarily examine the relationship of seed vigor to one aspect of performance - crop yield.

High-Vigor Seeds Associated with Seed Hardness and Water Absorption Rate in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Agriculture, 2022 Seed physical properties are stable and visualized, and believed to be reference indicators for screening high-vigor seeds. However, the detailed relationship between seed vigor and its physical properties is not fully understood in rice.

Improved assessment of wheat seeds vigor [PDF]
Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2012 The tetrazolium test is widely used for seed vigor assessment of various plant species. For wheat, however, there is no methodology specifically recommended. This study aimed at determining an efficient procedure to evaluate vigor of wheat seeds by this test; besides allowing the establishment of seed quality classes.

1042 UNDERSTANDING SEED VIGOR [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 Seed vigor is an important consideration today for seed companies as well as seed consumers. Effective use of seed vigor is, however, significantly hampered due to a lack of understanding and education on the subject. Benefits and limitations of seed vigor information will be addressed as they relate to seed companies, regulatory agencies and the seed ...

Seed storage: maintaining seed viability and vigor for restoration use [PDF]
Restoration Ecology, 2020 Effective seed storage after sourcing (harvesting or purchasing) is critical to restoration practitioners and native seed producers, as it is key to maintaining seed viability. Inadequate seed storage can lead to a waste of both natural and economic resources when seeds of poor quality are sown.
