• Abstract

  Seed testing is an important component of seed production systems. It is a dynamic activity as shown by the improvement of the available procedures and the development of new approaches and modem methodology. These tools comprise relatively new techniques such as seed and seedling imaging analysis that have indicated consistent potential to be used in basic and applied research. This prop…

• Abstract

  In view of the current challenges related to the competitiveness of the cultivar market, the sustainability of agribusiness and climate change, plant scientists have sought to add modern phenotyping techniques to the process of developing new cultivars; however, it should be considered that plant breeding has paid little attention to seed characteristics. The use of images generated on au…

• Abstract

  propagation by seeds is the main medium for the reproduction of native forest species; therefore, it is necessary to generate knowledge for the analysis of the same. The proper evaluation of the physiological potential of forest tree seeds is essential of seedlings producers, as it enables the proper choice of lots more storage potential, allowing the seedling production in longer period …

• Abstract

  Seed treatment with micronutrients is a promising technology for crops of great importance in the agricultural world, such as maize (Zea mays L.). The advantages of micronutrient application by the seed include required elements available in smaller amounts, such as zinc. Low zinc availability in soils and the importance of enriching cereal grains with this nutrient are global concerns. T…

• Abstract

  For several species when chlorophyll degradation doesn't occur properly during seed maturation is possible to have reductions in seed quality. This project proposes a complement in studies developed about image analysis using chlorophyll fluoresce as an indication of seed maturity and quality of broccoli seeds. To perform the measurements in Broccoli seeds the device JS-2001 Seed Sorter w…

• Abstract

  Seed treatment with micronutrients is a potential tool for maize crop nutrition management. This practice provides advantages such as better localization of nutrients, easy application and lower costs. However, due to possible phytotoxic effects caused by seed treatment, there is a need for studies involving the uptake and transport of different compounds applied to seeds. Seed coat perme…
