Aging-Induced Reduction in Safflower Seed Germination via Impaired Energy Metabolism and Genetic Integrity Is Partially Restored by Sucrose and DA-6 Treatment.
Seed storage underpins global agriculture and the seed trade and revealing the mechanisms of seed aging is essential for enhancing seed longevity management. Safflower is a multipurpose oil crop, rich in unsaturated fatty acids that are at high risk of peroxidation as a contributory factor to seed aging. However, the... -

Comparative Seed Cryopreservation of Indonesian and New Zealand Epiphytic And Terrestrial Orchids.
The atypical seed storage behaviour reported in several orchid species justifies cryopreservation as a complementary conservation strategy to conventional seed banking. This study aimed to assess the seed cryopreservation potential of five orchid species; tropical epiphytic, Indonesian species (Dendrobium strebloceras, D. lineale), one temperate New Zealand species (D. cunninghamii) and... -

The metagenomics of soil bacteria and fungi and the release of mechanical dormancy in hard seeds.
Persistence in the soil is a function of seed physiology, particularly non-germination and inherent lifespan. However, for seeds with mechanical dormancy, non-germination is also a function of the composition and activity of the soil microbiota. We attempted to screen out microorganisms in the soil that can specifically and rapidly decompose...
