Genetic aspects of seed longevity of some cereals and legumes

Aim. To highlight the importance of genetic aspects seed storage on example important crops such as wheat, peas, soybeans and others. show response different genotypes samples to longevity under conditions formation. Methods. Laboratory studies germination, monitoring meteorological formation, statistical processing results. Results. The results germination chickpeas soybean seeds stored for more than five years were analyzed. At moisture content 5-8 %, difference in gene pool formation is shown. problems prospects analysis are discussed. Conclusions. obtained indicate pathway predicting longevity. transcriptional regulation which then affects its ability germinate should be studied.
