Basic & Applied Aspects of Seed Biology

by R. H. Ellis

Basic & Applied Aspects of Seed Biology Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Fifth International Workshop on Seeds was held at the University of Reading, UK, from 10 to 15 September, 1995. Some 230 seed scientists, from a wide range of disciplines (botanists, biochemists, ecologists, agriculturalists, foresters, and commercial seedsmen), from 31 countries (Europe, the Americas, and Asia) participated in the workshop. A large number of oral and poster presentations was made during the workshop and we are pleased to publish so many of them in these Proceedings. The papers herein are listed by the sessions in which they were presented but, as is often the case, many papers cover a broader range of topics than the session titles imply. For seed physiologists, ecologists, and technologists, this book collates much of the current research on seeds.

Book News Annotation:

Botanists, biochemists, ecologists, agriculturalists, foresters, and representatives from the commercial seed industry contribute 90 papers collating much of the current research on seeds of interest to seed physiologists, ecologists, and technologists. They cover the natural and artificial development and desiccation tolerance of seeds, dormancy, germination and vigor, ecophysiology, and storage and conservation. A sampling of specific concerns turns up the behavior of membranes and proteins during natural seed aging, seed germination in composites inhabiting fire-prone Mediterranean ecosystems, the flow cytometric analysis of sugar-beet seeds that differ in vigor, the hydrotime concept in germination and dormancy, natural far-red irradiation and the persistence of weed seed in the soil, patenting in the seed world, and the maternal effect on the yield and quality of Callistephus chinensis seed. No index.
