Abstract

Seed-enhancement treatments as a theme run through many of the papers in the second issue of volume 51 of Seed Science and Technology: the uses of priming are explored in two papers, one of which compares agents with the potential to improve chilling tolerance of tobacco seed during germination, and the other suggests Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as forms of biocontrol against Bacterial Fruit Blotch when priming melon seeds. Dormancy-breaking is essential for many species, and two papers proffer suggestions that can be applied to seeds of cucumber (dry heat) and to kala zeera (chilling, phytohormones). A lesser-utilised seed enhancement, that of plasma pre-treatments, is explored in terms of promoting seedling growth and development when applied to seeds of a popular horticultural species, Platycodon grandiflorus. Cautionary notes when following approved seed testing methods are sounded in a finding that the impact of variety complicates the interpretation of results when using the radicle emergence test to evaluate seed quality of wheat, and in a report of the results of a capacity-building exercise, where the correlation between skill levels and successful propagation of Melia volkensii seeds was evident. Useful SSR markers for assessing genetic similarity and degree of purity of wheat cultivars grown in Romania are suggested, as too is an approach to using germination and/or viability data in order to allow seed banks to make data-informed management decisions that would ensure time and resources are effectively allocated. An invited review gives a thorough and comprehensive review of all matters relating to the determination and control of seed moisture, and includes discussions on water activity and working with seed that needs to be at high moisture contents. A book review of “Plant Regeneration from Seeds: A Global Warming Perspective” strikes a positive note, concluding that it will leave readers with “a deep appreciation for the complex interplay of factors that influence plant regeneration and the potential consequences for ecosystems around the world”.
社论:种子科技。第51卷第2期(2023年)
种子强化处理作为主题贯穿于《种子科学与技术》第51卷第2期的许多论文中:两篇论文探讨了启动的用途,其中一篇比较了具有提高烟草种子萌发过程中耐寒性的潜力的药剂,另一篇建议在启动瓜子时荧光假单胞菌和解淀粉芽孢杆菌作为生物防治细菌性果实斑点病的形式。对许多物种来说,打破休眠是必不可少的,两篇论文提出了可以应用于黄瓜种子(干热)和kala zeera(冷却,植物激素)的建议。利用等离子体预处理技术对桔梗种子的生长发育进行了研究,探讨了等离子体预处理对桔梗种子生长发育的促进作用。在使用胚根出苗试验评价小麦种子质量时,品种的影响会使对结果的解释复杂化。在一项能力建设活动的结果报告中,技能水平与volkensii种子成功繁殖之间的相关性是显而易见的。建议利用SSR标记来评估罗马尼亚小麦品种的遗传相似性和纯度,同时也建议利用发芽和/或活力数据,使种子库能够根据数据做出管理决策,从而确保时间和资源的有效分配。邀请审查对与种子水分测定和控制有关的所有事项进行了彻底和全面的审查,包括对水活性和需要高水分含量的种子的处理的讨论。《从种子开始的植物再生:全球变暖的视角》一书的书评给出了积极的评价,结论是它将让读者“深刻理解影响植物再生的因素之间复杂的相互作用,以及对全球生态系统的潜在后果”。
