Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for artificial aging of rice seeds, belonging to the technical field of seed detection. With this method, the time for testing the storage resistance and deterioration resistance of rice seeds can be shortened. (2) Background technology
[0002] The irreversible quality decline changes after the physiological maturity of seeds are collectively referred to as "seed deterioration" or aging. Seed senescence is irreversible, inevitable, and different among populations. However, the degree of seed deterioration can be delayed and its potential performance can be improved by controlling storage and processing conditions. Seed deterioration can reduce seed quality, such as vigor, viability, storage capacity and field establishment rate, etc., resulting in inestimable economic losses. It is estimated that in the United States alone, the annual loss due to quality problems in seed sales can reach 500 million US dollars. I...
