| Sumario: | <p id="p1">The initiation of seed germination is a critical first step in establishing many plant species associated with agronomic crop production. Crop species are uniformly tested for standard germination and sometimes vigor prior to market release but, these assessments are predominantly implanted for commercial production of registered and certified seed. Seed germination, vigor, and initial seedling growth can be evaluated using a thermogradient device that holds constant temperatures across a wide range for evaluation. Models can then be used to establish germination, vigor, and seedling growth indices related to time, temperature, and response to predict genomic stability, and phenotypic responses due to variations in climate during seed production. This will be reviewed in this chapter.</p> |
