Wheat seed ageing viewed through the cellular redox environment and changes in pH
To elucidate biochemical mechanisms leading to seed deterioration, we studied 23 wheat genotypes after exposure to seed bank storage for 6?16 years compared to controlled deterioration (CD) at 45?°C and 14 (CD14) and 18% (CD18) moisture content (MC) for up to 32 days. Under two seed bank storage conditions, seed viability was...Nagel, Manuela ; Seal, Charlotte ; Colville, Louise ; Rodenstein, Axel ; Un, Sun …

Seed life span and food security.
Summary Much is known about the inter-specific distribution of life span in a wide diversity of vertebrates and in adult plants, but not for seeds, yet the functional trait seed life span underpins global agriculture, plant species conservation and seed persistence in the soil. We sourced data for five storage...Colville, Louise ; Pritchard, Hugh
