The seed constitutes the main vector of plant propagation and it is a critical development
stage with many specificities. Seed longevity is a major challenge for the conservation of …

Seeds are the major form of dispersal of plants in the environment. Seeds of many plant
species are exceptionally adapted to harsh environmental conditions provided they are in a …

Ellis et al. 41 believe that when treating seeds at-13-80 U, the aging laws of the seeds are
consistent.[...] the use of artificial accelerated aging method to simulate natural aging has …

Seed dormancy has played a significant role in adaptation and evolution of seed plants.
While its biological significance is clear, molecular mechanisms underlying seed dormancy …

Leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, is one of the adaptive mechanisms
formed by plants over a long period of evolution. Leaf senescence is accompanied by …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important crop worldwide. The physiological deterioration
of seeds during storage and seed priming is closely associated with germination, and thus …

Viable seeds ensure the survival of flowering plants from one generation to the next. In wild
plants, there are numerous examples of seed dormancy mechanisms. These have evolved …

Seeds are highly dehydrated, quiescent or resting structures, and carriers of next generation
in the life cycle of plants. Seeds have different shapes and sizes, ranging from the smallest …

The aging of seeds is a major problem in the agricultural sector. It is also a complex
biological question that remains unclear for many crop seeds. In this experiment, we …

The critical node (CN), which is the transition from the plateau phase to the rapid decreasing
phase of seed ageing, is extremely important for seed conservation. Although numerous …
