Volume 47 Issue 3 (2019) JO - Seed Science and Technology PY - 2019-12-31T00:00:00/// VL - 47 IS - 3 SP - 369 EP - 376 N2 - Seed viability and germination are central topics for Seed Science and Technology, especially regarding useful and/or threatened plants, such as medicinal and crop species. Both seed viability and germination may be affected by various factors, including phytopathogens, environmental conditions and age of the seeds. Therefore, on one hand there is a constant need to monitor seed quality and on the other to prevent pests and improve recruitment performance. These topics are addressed in this issue through new user-friendly techniques or existing protocols, which may include inter-disciplinary approaches combining molecular, ecological and agronomic skills.
