In recent years, technological innovations have allowed significant advances in the diagnosis of seed quality. Seeds with superior physiological quality are those with the highest level of physiological maturity and the ...

Long-term survival during dry storage or longevity is a pre-requisite to avoid deterioration, leading to loss of vigor. Longevity is routinely evaluated by the ability to germinate after storage. It increases progressively ...

The seed nutritional status is of essential importance to seed storage capacity and vigor, especially for horticultural crops, such as the eggplant. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the macronutrient contents in eggplant ...
