This second volume on seed technology for genebanks provides general approaches, detailed information, guidance and, when available, prescriptions for removing dormancy and germinating the seeds. It is the third in a general series of genebank handbooks. (Reprinted 1989)

Handbook of seed technology for genebanks: Volume II: compendium of specific germination information and test recommendation
Genebanks maintaining seeds for long-term genetic resources conservation monitor seed lots to detect early loss in viability. Monitoring is costly and depletes valuable seed. Three decades of genebank seed germination test results of diverse forage species from 50 legume genera in the Internation...

This handbook provides an introduction to seed storage physiology for those responsible for plant genetic conservation and a selective summary of the literature on seed survival in storage, and thus on seed storage behaviour, for almost 7000 species from 251 famili

The base (Tb), optimum (To) and ceiling (Tce) temperature for 50% seed germination and seedling emergence, and the thermal time at sub-optimal temperatures (θ1), were examined in experiments with a range of cowpea genotypes from different habitats and latitudes. There was substantial genotypic va...
