Seed deterioration during storage results in a decline in vigor, which has a negative impact
on agricultural production. However, the mechanisms responsible for ageing are still poorly …

Plant seeds lose their viability when they are exposed to long term storage or controlled
deterioration treatments, by a process known as seed aging. Based on previous studies …

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

Seed quality plays an important role in the agricultural and animal husbandry production,
the effective utilization of genetic resources, the conservation of biodiversity and the …

Previous understanding of the mechanism of seed ageing is largely based on observations
on imbibed seeds rather than dry seeds. The present research was conducted to investigate …

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 …

Seed ageing has an important effect on germination and productivity. During natural ageing,
seed vigour decreases rapidly but, to date, the molecular mechanisms underlying this …

Soybean quality and production are determined by seed viability. A seed's capacity to
sustain germination via dry storage is known as its seed life. Thus, one of the main …

Legumes and cereals as staple food are typically consumed at mature stage, though also
consumed at earlier stages. UPLC/MS based molecular networking and chemometrics were …

Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Hu and WC Cheng, as the only surviving relict species of the
Taxodiaceae Metasequoia genus, is a critically endangered and protected species in China …
