Seed Science Treatise
The main objective of this book is to
help the graduate and post-graduate students of Agriculture to quickly grasp
the facts comprehensively and systematically. It is a collection and
compilation work from various sources and has been endeavored to include as
much information as could be possible. It is realized that the coverage of
materials in this book is likely to be far from complete as the information
available in seed technology and plant science are immense. In nature, seed
plays two critical roles: firstly, it provides a means for survival through
unfavorable environmental conditions that alternate with favorable ones and
secondly, the process of its formation generates genetic variation that is
transmitted to the next generation Man would have been attracted to certain
seeds (from among so many different kinds) for yet another reason, viz, their
food value; this would have been critical in the domestication of certain plant
species. Ever since domestication, a fourth factor became associated with
seeds, viz, superior performance under the prevailing conditions of
cultivation, that is, maximum exploitation of the available resources. Each and
every suggestion and/or criticism for this effort is welcome and give an
opportunity to remove the shortcomings.
