Abstract Background and Aims Understanding variation in seed longevity, especially within
closely related germplasm, will lead to better understanding of the molecular basis of this …

The length of time for which seed lots maintain their viability and vigour in storage has
become a trait of interest for rice and other crop and model species. However, different …

Changes in seed quality during ripening were studied in sixteen cultivars of rice,
representing the three ecogeographic races ofOryza sativa, and one cultivar ofO …

Seed storability, defined as the ability to remain alive during storage, is an important
agronomic and physiological characteristic, but the underlying genetic mechanism remains …

The storage potential of seeds harvested at different stages of maturity was studied in ten
cultivars of Oryza sativa, representing six known isozyme groups, and in two cultivars of O …

Seed deterioration during rice seed storage can lead to seed vigor loss, which adversely
affects agricultural production, the long-term preservation of germplasm resources, and the …

Seed longevity is a key trait to secure seed viability and vigor of farmer's seed lots under the
increased temperatures and humidity associated with climate change. While previous …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling seed longevity in rice were identified using 98
backcross inbred lines (BILs) derived from a cross between a japonica variety Nipponbare …

Seed longevity varies considerably in cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.), but the underlying
genetic mechanism of longevity has not been well elucidated. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

Seed storability is an important trait for crop breeding, however, the mechanism underlying
seed storability remains largely unknown. Here, a mass spectrometry-based comparative …
