Abstract

Abstract: Seed pathology is an area of study that began in the last century and has been developing since then, with increasing contribution especially to agricultural production systems. However, in the environmental area, studies began much later, but showed equal importance, especially for plant restoration and germplasm conservation programs. In this review, information about the knowledge on the pathology of seeds of non-domesticated species from tropical ecosystems is presented and the benefits and gaps of these studies are discussed.
