Germination & Vigor
Overview
Seed germination and vigor traits determine early-stage seedling establishment, field emergence, and crop performance. Automated imaging and time-lapse techniques now enable accurate measurement of germination timing, growth rate, and vigor indices.
1. Seed lot quality evaluation
2.Screening breeding populations for early vigor
3.Stress-germination assays (salt, drought, temperature)
4.Predicting field emergence from early growth traits
5.Seed priming treatment evaluation
