This textbook offers a comprehensive look at the science of seed studies, tailored for students of agronomy and biology. It systematically covers the morphology, physiology, and biochemistry of seeds, along with the factors that create variability in seed quality. A significant portion is dedicated to the critical phase from sowing to seedling emergence, detailing the processes of seed swelling, sprout formation, and the initial appearance of seedlings.
The book also explores the periods of seed dormancy and germination, and for the first time, examines the adaptive properties seeds develop during swelling and early sprout growth. It provides a practical analysis of harvesting methods, drying techniques, and modern approaches to evaluating seed and planting material quality. While designed for university students, this guide is also a valuable resource for agronomists, seed growers, and seed inspection staff.
