Seed Longevity Chart to Predict Viability of Corn Seed During Open Storage

A role for seed storage proteins in Arabidopsis seed longevity

Proteomics approaches have been a useful tool for determining the biological roles and functions of individual proteins and identifying the molecular mechanisms that govern seed germination, vigour and viability in response to ageing. In this work the dry seed proteome of four Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes, that carry introgression fragments at the position of seed longevity quantitative trait...

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...

Organic Corn Seed Coat Treatments

Introduction Organic seed treatments have been limited in organic production, until recently. Agricoat Natural IITM, is reported to be “an organic liquid biological seed treatment applied as a seed film coating and formulated with beneficial microbes, macro and micro nutrients, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.” Natural IITM also is applied to “promote root ...
