Main conclusion Rapid uniform germination and accumulation of biomass during initial
phase of seedling establishment is an essential phenotypic trait considered as early …

Seed vigor is a complex trait, including the seed germination, seedling emergence, and
growth, as well as seed storability and stress tolerance, which is important for direct seeding …

A near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system was used to predict viability and
vigor (in term of germination periods) in muskmelon seeds. Hyperspectral images of …

This study aimed to assess the effects of three plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR)
and chitosan either singly or in combination on maize seeds germination and growth and …

Ultrasound technology has been recently used to enhance and increase seed germination
with no negative effect on seedling development. This study investigated the effects of …

Background Maintenance of seed viability is an important factor for seedling vigour and
plant establishment. Lipid peroxidation mediated reactive carbonyl compounds (RCC's) and …

Sweet corn seeds are sensitive to storage due to their low starch content and poor seed
vigor. Therefore, it is important to understand their physiological and biochemical behavior …

A ISTRA ("|" Rice is one of the most important staple foods for the World's population ranking
third after Wheat and Maize in terms of production and consumption. Asia accounts for over …

Seed aging detection and viable seed prediction are of great significance in alfalfa seed
production, but traditional methods are disposable and destructive. Therefore, the …

This paper explores the feasibility of particle-based detection and grading of seed vigor
based on a self-built seed single-granulation device using near infrared spectroscopy …
