Adenosine Triphosphate Content and Seed Vigor [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1973
ATP content in imbibed seeds is significantly correlated with seedling size in fatty, starchy and proteinaceous seeds, and it indicates viability in seed lots. ATP content thus appears to be a useful biochemical index of seed vigor.

Primed Seeds of NERICA 4 Stored for Long Periods under High Temperature and Humidity Conditions Maintain Germination Rates

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Agriculture depends on the ability of seeds to survive until the next planting season under ambient conditions that may be averse to seed quality even when the seed is in a quiescent state.

Controlled deterioration test and use of the Seed Vigor Imaging System (SVIS ® ) to evaluate the physiological potential of crambe seeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
: Vigor tests are important tools for verifying the physiological potential of seed lots; however, various aspects can interfere in the consistency of the test results. The search for less subjective procedures has drawn the interest of researchers.

Vigor determination of okra seeds by respiratory activity

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2018
Seed companies increasingly need to obtain reliable results on seed vigor. Therefore, the objective was to verify the efficiency of the respiratory activity measurement, by the CO2 released, to classify the vigor of okra seed lots.

Improving sorghum seed vigor by priming

open access: yesIOP 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

1042 UNDERSTANDING SEED VIGOR [PDF]

open access: yesHortScience, 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 ...
