Since the germination test is still the main method for evaluating seed vigor of sweet corn, it is necessary to study the rapid methods for evaluating their vigor. First, two vigor levels of 9 super sweet corn and 9 sugar enhanced corn hybrids were distinguished by accelerated ageing treatment. Next, their vigor statuses were tested by rapid methods such as electrical conductivity (EC), soluble...

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 plant. In addition, proteostasis and DNA inte...

interspecific hybridization occurs among cucurbia species it is commonly used for grafting, yield increasing and production of pest resistant rootstocks. in the present research probability of interspecies hybrid generation among seven lines of cucurbita pepo (p1, p4, p5, p6, p10, p22, p25) and six lines of cucurbita moschata (mo3, mo5, mo6, mo9, mo11, mo12) were investigated. after crossing of...

This paper aims to present a review of seed technology, seed germination and vigor methods using image processing. Computer–aided image analysis techniques have been recently developed in monitoring seed growth and vigor. Their integration with the standard germination test is needed to describe the germination performance of a seed sample with high accuracy. The use of various modern image acq...

To enhance speed and agility in interpreting physiological quality tests of seeds, The use algorithms has emerged. This study aimed to identify suitable machine learning models assist the precise management seed lot quality. Soybean lots from two companies were assessed using Supplied Test Set, Cross-Validation (with 8, 10, 12 folds), Percentage Split 66% 70%) methods. Variables analyzed throug...

Yield, growth, and vigor of individual grape vines were correlated with nematode population densities in a series of California vineyards. In a Hanford sandy loam soil, Xiphinema americanum densities showed negative correlations with yield, growth, and vigor of vines. When vines were categorized according to vigor, X. americanurn densities had little relationship to yield of high-vigor vines, b...

considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, agropyron desertorum (fisch. ex link) schult. in ...
