This first volume of seed technology for genebanks deals with many of the principles of seed testing which need to be understood when monitoring the viability of seed accessions maintained in genebanks. It is the second in a general series of genebank handbooks. (Reprinted 1989)

Handbook of Seed Technology for Genebanks: Volume I: principles and methodology
Seed processing and storage are important components in transforming the effort of breeders into improved crops for farmers. Seed processing includes drying, removal of contaminants, size grading, and treatment with specific materials. Storage aims at keeping seed in good condition until the next...
The conservation of genetic resources is vital to the maintenance of biodiversity and to the world's ability to feed its growing population. There are now more than a thousand genebanks worldwide involved in the ex situ (meaning ”away from the source”) storage of particular classes of crops. Sinc...

This is an in-depth report of the factors to be taken into consideration when designing seed storage facilities for genetic conservation. (Revised 1990). Also in Chinese
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
