Seed Quality of Oilseed Rape Varieties with Different Size and Colors After Three and Fifteen Months Storage

Abstract

During two years, germinability and initial growth of seedling of nine foreign varieties and four domestic varieties were studied. The seed is grouped by size (small, medium and large), color (dark transitional and light color of seed coat). Then it was preserved and at three and fifteen months of age in the laboratory and in the field, germinability, dormant seed and growth of shoot and radicle root were examined. In addition to the age, other factors (variety, size, color, period of storage) influenced significantly (P≥0.05 to P≥0.00) on seed germinability and growth of seedling.Higher germinability is achieved from large seeds up to 3.6%. Depending on the seed coat color, the germinability varied to 11%. The seed coat color has had a high impact on maintaining germinability for fifteen months. Seeds with darker coat have also shown higher potential for storage and use in subsequent seeding periods, as determined by the application of the aging test on seed. Significant interdependence (r) was obtained between the germinability test and the growth of seedling in laboratory conditions and in field conditions. Between the germinability and the growth of the shoot and the root, a significant interdependence was established, depending on the varieties (P≥0.05 to P≥0.00).

Meta-learning Based Prediction of Different Corn Cultivars from Colour Feature Extraction with Image Processing Technique

“…H: Entropy, S: Source, p: Probability (Silahtaroğlu 2016). Gain information is obtained by calculating the differences between the weighted sums of the entropies of each sub-section (Silahtaroğlu 2016). The gain information is calculated by the following equation:…”

“…In artificial intelligence, neural networks are frequently used in a wide range of implementations. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is a feed-forward neural network structure that maps input training objects to target labels (Öztemel 2012;Silahtaroğlu 2016). In ANN, information is distributed over the connection weights between neurons.…”

Siberian Wildrye (Elymus sibiricus) Seed Vigor Estimation for the Prediction of Emergence Performance under Diverse Environmental Conditions

“…The screening of good-quality seeds is an effective method to enhance seedling emergence and stand establishment, and thus, achieving a better productivity and environment [10]. Seed vigor is an important aspect of seed quality [11], which is defined as the sum of the properties of the seed that determine the level of activity and the performance of a seed or seed lot during germination and seedling emergence [12]. Previously, many researchers the presence of a positive linear relationship between seed vigor and seedling emergence under different conditions [13][14][15][16].…”

Quality of alfalfa seeds from different regions of Serbia during storage up to 42 months

“…If seeds with low germination are used, a higher sowing rate is required, which makes the establishment of the crop even more expensive. In agriculture, laboratory germination correlates strongly with field germination (Frischie et al, 2020;Knežević et al, 2019).…”
