Objective: Ageing of the stored seed is a natural phenomenon and the seeds tend to lose viability even under ideal storage conditions. Accelerated ageing has been recognized as a good predictor of the storability of seed lots. Aged seeds show decreased vigor and produce weak seedlings that are unable to survive once reintroduced into a habitat. The characteristics of the chemical composition of...

Tetrazolium test (TZT) can quickly evaluate in detail the viability and vigor of seeds. This study aimed to determine optimal conditions for conducting TZT on seeds Handroanthus spongiosus. For this purpose, from three lots were pre-soaked water 16 h, followed by extraction tegument immersion tetrazolium salt solutions at different concentrations (0.01–0.1%), increasing periods (1–4 h) 30 °C da...

Abstrak. Kedelai (Glycine max (L) Merril) termasuk dalam suku polong-polongan dan sering digunakan sebagai bahan pangan di Indonesia. merupakan benih yang cepat mengalami kemunduran, terutama jika disimpan pada ruang terbuka. Benih dengan vigor tinggi berarti mampu tumbuh normal kondisi ideal ataupun tidak. Penelitian dilakukan Laboratorium Ilmu Teknologi mulai bulan Januari hingga Mei 2022. Ra...

The existence of a semipermeable layer in grass seeds has been extensively reported, yet knowledge of its influence on tests for seed viability and vigor that depend upon measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) is limited. This study determined the presence and location of the semipermeable layer, and its relation to seed viability and vigor assessment, in seeds of four important grass spec...

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seeds are highly sensitive to the environmental conditions experienced in STORAGE. The objectives of this study were identify QTLs for soybean seed storability by evaluating viability and vigor investigating candidate genes these traits detected QTL regions. These will aid developing cultivars with a high capacity storability. 109 90 recombinant inbred lines (RILs...
