Seed ageing is influenced by two environmental factors, RH and temperature. The
deterioration of the stored seed is a natural phenomenon and the seeds tend to lose viability …

Nowadays, the area under onion production through seeds is increasing in India and
especially in Tamil Nadu. Onion (Allium cepa L.) seeds are naturally less viable and more …

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

The widespread use of canola in the food sector has led to accelerated product growth,
making it the second largest crop in the world. The analysis showed an increase in the …

The viability of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seeds decreases with aging and reduction
