Improved equations for the prediction of seed longevity
RH Ellis, EH Roberts - Annals of Botany, 1980 - academic.oup.com
Equations for predicting seed longevity in storage have been improved so that they now take
into account variations within a species in initial seed quality—which is affected by genotype
and pre-storage environment—and so that they are more accurate over a wider range of
storage environments These improvements have been incorporated into a seed viability
nomograph for barley (Hordeum distichum L.) which may be used to predict percentage
viabihty of any seed lot after any time in any storage environment within the range− 20 to 90° …
