Understanding the longevity of rice seeds
How long can a genebank keep seeds? New research looks into the variability of seed longevity in Indica rice.
High-temperature drying increases longevity of rice seed
This study investigates the conditions routinely used by genebanks and finds that standard practice may not be optimal for subsequent seed longevity.
Transgenerational changes in seed longevity in Silene
A study of seeds from alpine & lowland populations of Silene vulgaris shows that seed longevity has a genetic basis, but may show strong adaptive responses.
