Endophyte survival during seed storage

SEED PHYSIOLOGY, PRODUCTION & TECHNOLOGY Survival Characteristics of Corn Seed during Storage: I. Normal Distribution of Seed Survival

scribed by a normal distribution Understanding the survival characteristics of hybrid corn (Zea y 5 [1/s√2p]exp[2(p 2 p)2/2s2] [1] mays L.) seed during storage is necessary to predict seed deterioration. This investigation tested one key assumption of the Ellis and Roberts where y is the relative frequency of deaths occurring at viability equation, namely, that seed survival is normally distrib...

Improvements in Survival of Probiotic Bacteria, Rheology and Sensory Characteristics of Yogurts during Storage

Background and Objectives: Use of aloe vera gel in dairy industries is important for increasing quality of dairy products. In the present study, effects of aloe vera gel with inulin and whey powder on survival of probiotic bacteria, rheological and sensory characteristics of yogurt were investigated. Materials and Methods: Low-fat (1.5%) probiotic yogurts were prepared from pasteurized milks, ...

Lack of Globulin Synthesis during Seed Development Alters Accumulation of Seed Storage Proteins in Rice

The major seed storage proteins (SSPs) in rice seeds have been classified into three types, glutelins, prolamins, and globulin, and the proportion of each SSP varies. It has been shown in rice mutants that when either glutelins or prolamins are defective, the expression of another type of SSP is promoted to counterbalance the deficit. However, we observed reduced abundances of glutelins and pro...

Impact of Storage Fungi on Soybean Seed Deterioration in Different Storage Conditions and Seed Moisture Content

DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1398.6.65.11.1. 1578.1585 Extended Abstract Introduction: Understanding the complex characteristics that control the life span of the seed has ecological, agricultural and economic importance. Inappropriate storage conditions after harvesting destroy a large part of annual yield partly due to microbial activity in the storage. Damage from storage fungi varies based ...
