Abstract

Seed technology plays a critical role in plant propagation, conservation, and the broader agricultural sector. This book synthesizes current knowledge on seed biology, dormancy, germination ecology, and seed production techniques. It highlights the significance of maintaining seed quality, offering detailed guidance on seed enhancement, storage, and processing methods. The work also explores the evolutionary aspects of seed dormancy and non-dormancy, especially in species with specialized life cycles. The book is designed to bridge the gap between fundamental seed science and its practical applications, serving as a vital resource for researchers, agronomists, and those involved in the seed industry.

I found the methodology chapter to be a bit too complex, but the rest of the book was excellent.
