Abstract:
This article engages with the resistance against the global erosion of seed diversity following the modernization and industrialization of agriculture over the 20th century. This resistance spans from local farming communities that preserve and safeguard traditional landraces to international movements which oppose proprietary seed regulations and promote free sharing of seeds. The article focuses on the latter and presents a study of the open source seed movement: an initiative to apply strategies from the open source software movement to ensure the free circulation of seeds.

Abstract:
This article follows the trajectory of a French farmers' movement that contests the seed production and regulation system set in place during agricultural modernization. It focuses on the creativity of the movement, which ranges from semantic innovations (such as “peasant seeds”) to the reinvention of onfarm breeding practices based on new scientific paradigms, and includes new alliances with the social movements defending the commons. The trajectory of the movement is shaped by its encounters—with scientists, other international seed contestations, and other social movements—and by the produc

Abstract:
Synthetic seed banks are a useful tool for tracking how weed populations change over time. By sowing a known number of seeds of a given species within a quadrat with defined boundaries, an investigator can measure the number remaining and thereby calculate demographic rates (e.g., mortality). The alternative is to use in situ seeds and estimate their initial population density via sampling. To make a synthetic seed bank approach useful within an agricultural system subjected to soil disturbances such as tillage, one would need a way to account for seeds leaving the initial quadrat (i.e., a way

Abstract Seeds are the typical dispersal and propagation units of angiosperms and gymnosperms. Water movement into and out of seeds plays a crucial role from the point of fertilization through to imbibition and seed germination. A class of membrane intrinsic proteins called aquaporins (AQPs) assist with the movement of water and other solutes within seeds. These highly diverse and abundant proteins are associated with different processes in the development, longevity, imbibition, and germination of seed. However, there are many AQPs encoded in a plant’s genome and it is not yet clear how, when

Abstract:
Seeds can harbor a wide range of microorganisms, especially fungi, which can cause different sanitary problems. Seed quality and seed longevity may be drastically reduced by fungi that invade seeds before or after harvest. Seed movement can be a pathway for the spread of diseases into new areas. Some seed-associated fungi can also produce mycotoxins that may cause serious negative effects on humans, animals and the seeds themselves. Seed storage is the most efficient and widely used method for conserving plant genetic resources. The seed storage conditions used in gene banks, low temperature a

AbstractSeed enhancements may be defined as post-harvest treatments that improve germination or seedling growth, or facilitate the delivery of seeds and other materials required at the time of sowing. This definition includes three general areas of enhancements: pre-sowing hydration treatments (priming), coating technologies and seed conditioning. Pre-sowing hydration treatments include non-controlled water uptake systems (methods in which water is freely available and not restricted by the environment) and controlled systems (methods that regulate seed moisture content preventing the completi

The distribution of airflow field in the pneumatic centralized cylinder metering device cavity, airstream distributor and different angle seed feeding tubes was investigated based on the pneumatic centralized cylinder direct-seeding metering device to study the effect on the movement law of rice seed. In total, three suction hole sizes (1.5 mm, 2 mm and 2.0 mm 45° wedge) were used for CFD simulation. The results showed that under the same inlet vacuum, the pressure at the 1.5 mm hole is higher than the other two types of holes, and the five measurement points of the 2 mm hole are more stable t

Abstract:Dung beetles are known to perform important ecological functions, such as secondary seed dispersal of vertebrate-defecated seeds. We found that dung beetles also move buried seeds upwards, with positive consequences for seedling establishment. In the Lacandon rain forest of southern Mexico we conducted field experiments to address three questions: (1) What proportions of different-sized seeds buried by dung beetles are exhumed by them? (2) Does upward relocation of seeds caused by dung beetle activity promote seedling establishment? (3) Does recurrent beetle activity increase seedling

Seed germination and survival rate of protocorms were highest in MS medium compared to other basal media. The protocorms raised through seed germination directly proliferated into rhizomes in later phase of growth and development.

Abstract:
According to preliminary research, the primary factor influencing the accuracy of seed placement by pneumatic seeders is the process of transferring seeds from the metering device to the point of direct entry into the furrow formed by the coulter in the soil. The first factor is related to the high velocity of the air stream, which increases the risk of seed dislodgement from the seed boot and its placement outside the furrow. This problem can be addressed by installing a seed retarder above the seed boot. The second factor lies in the imperfect shape of the seed channel in the seed boot. Seed

Plant species models are among the available tools to predict the future of ecosystems threatened by climate change, habitat loss, and degradation.

A variety of seed dispersal models have been conceived for anemochorous and zoochorous plant species, but the coupling between vegetation models and seed dispersal processes remains rare. The main challenge in modelling zoochoric dispersal is simulating animal movements in their complex habitat. Recent developments allow straightforw

Birds play a fundamental role in many ecosystems because they spread a variety of fruits and seeds through endozoochory. Pyracantha are very attractive for birds, which have contributed to spread this species in natural ecosystems. However, dispersion only is effective if seeds can germinate after passage through of bird digestive tract. Our goal was to assess if birds affect the start, speed and germination rate of P. atalantoides. Germination was compared between seeds from fruit and seed from bird feces. The germination percentage was similar between fruit and feces seeds. However, the seed

There is a particular risk of widespread weed seed dissemination in Australia with its extensive grazing practices and significant amounts of livestock movement. Consumption of weed seeds is largely dependent on grazing management practices, with lax grazing faci
