Seed Quality: Sowing Dragon Teeth in order to Harvest Armed Men                         

Seed quality depends on genetics, production (environment) and processing. During recent years studies have revealed a complex picture concerning the control of seed quality. Using real life examples this complex matter will be discussed.

Regulation of Seed Germination – The check-point hypothesis

Seeds sense their environment continuously in order to make the crucial decision: if and when they should germinate. Protein translation is one such way in which seeds can dynamically regulate germination in response to their environment.
