Handbook of Seed Physiology: Applications to Agriculture

The Handbook of Seed Physiology discusses vital topics which serve as the basis for the development of techniques and processes to improve seed performance and crop yield. In this text, you will explore:
the effect of the soil physical environment on seed germination
the roles of physiology, genetics, and environment in the inception, maintenance, and termination of dormancy
the relationship between the termination of dormancy and the synthesis and signaling of gibberellins and abscisic acid
mechanisms of orthodox seed deterioration and approaches for repair of seed damage
characteristics, behavior, and mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in recalcitrant seeds
the role of seed moisture in free radical assaults on seeds and the protective function of raffinose oligosaccharides
the production of free radicals and their effect on lipids and lipid peroxidation
components of grain quality in oil crops and factors influencing them
structural components and genotypic and environmental factors affecting barley malting quality
