The impact of chemical desiccation on yield showed contrasting results depending on seed moisture content at the time of application. Its effects on seed deterioration are still unknown and could be modified by seed ...

Seed development is partitioned into a ‘lag’ phase, a ‘seed filling’ phase, and a ‘maturation’ phase. Transitions between phases correspond to seed water concentration (WC) values that are fairly consistent within species. ...

The impact of chemical desiccation on yield showed contrasting results depending on seed moisture content at the time of application. Its effects on seed deterioration are still unknown and could be modified by seed ...

The main components such as polyphenols, lipids,proteins, sugars and dietary fiber were determined in the whole pod of Prosopisalba and nigra. The presence of these compounds in the pericarp or pulp and inthe different ...

Oils extracted from Cucurbitaceae seeds were characterised for their fatty acid and tocopherol compositions. In addition, some physicochemical characteristics, total phenolic contents and the radical-scavenging activities ...

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), causing common mosaic, is the most important soybean virus in Argentina. Recently, five isolated (Marcos Juárez, Manfredi, Venado Tuerto, Vincus Plant and Noroeste Argentino) of SMV were ...

Genetic quality of forest seeds are essential for populations foundation, as well as, the chemical composition is essential to maintain the vigor and support the establishment of the seedlings in the plantation. The objective ...

Seeds of 17 wild leguminous species belonging to the Papilionoideae subfamily were analysed for their proximate, fatty acid and sterol compositions. Centrosema virginianum, Tipuana tipu, Adesmia volckmanni and some species ...

The advancement of knowledge and technologies for production, quality assessment and conservation of seeds of E. edulis is a need imposed by the high demand for this plants. Information on biometry, chemical composition ...
