Genebank management is a field in its own right; it is multifaceted, requiring a diverse set of
skills and knowledge. Seed physiology is one area that is critical to the successful operation …

The long-standing hypothesis that seed quality improves during seed filling, is greatest at
the end of seed filling, and declines thereafter (because seed deterioration was assumed to …

Seeds of high physiological quality are defined by their superior germination capacity and
uniform seedling establishment. Here, it was investigated whether multispectral images …

Successive cycles of water absorption and loss favor weathering deterioration, one of the
main factors that affect the quality of soybean seeds. This study evaluated the physiological …

Sustainable agricultural production largely depends upon the viability and longevity of high-
quality seeds during storage. Legumes are considered as rich source of dietary protein that …

In recent years, technological innovations have allowed significant advances in the
diagnosis of seed quality. Seeds with superior physiological quality are those with the …

Soil management systems directly interfere in the soil–plant relationship. However, there are
still few studies evaluating the influence of long-term management systems on the …

The rapid and uniform establishment of crop plants in the field underpins food security
through uniform mechanical crop harvesting. In order to achieve this, seeds with greater …

Herbicides with desiccant actions may be used to anticipate the harvesting of soybean
seeds. This technique aims to minimize the negative influence of biotic and abiotic factors on …

What is the relation between seed quality and food security? Here we built a summary
diagram that links the development stages of the seeds with their potential of providing grain …
