Journal ArticleDOI
Seed vigour and crop establishment: extending performance beyond adaptation
TL;DR: How some seed characteristics that serve as adaptive responses to the natural environment are not suitable for agriculture are discussed and ways in which basic plant science could be applied to enhance seed performance in crop production are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of tillage effects on crop residue management, seedbed conditions and seedling establishment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the current knowledge in modeling seedling emergence and residue decomposition, seedbed structure and its resulting physical conditions, and how tillage operations affect on seed bed structure and residue distribution.

Effects of Priming and Endosperm Integrity on Seed Germination Rates of Tomato Genotypes II. GERMINATION AT REDUCED WATER POTENTIAL
Peetambar Dahal,Kent J. Bradford +1 more
TL;DR: It appears that the primary effect of priming was to shorten the time required for final endosperm weakening to occur, as priming increased GR even in cut seeds, and priming effects on the embryo may control the rate of endOSperm weakening.
Effects of Priming and Endosperm Integrity on Seed Germination Rates of Tomato Genotypes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of seed priming (6 d imbibition in aerated - 1-2 MPa polyethylene glycol solution at 20 °C followed by redrying) and removing the endosperm/testa cap covering the radicle on the temperature sensitivity of GRg, and the interaction of these treatments with genotypes, were investigated.

Ecological aspects of seed dormancy loss
Phil S. Allen,Susan E. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: Simulation models for predicting dormancy loss in the field can be created by combining measurements of seed zone temperatures with equations that describe changes in mean base water potential as a function of temperature, and successful validation of these and other models demonstrates that equations based on laboratory data can be used to predict dormancies loss under widely fluctuating field conditions.
