This open-access edited book is a collection of 17 chapters,
synthesized primarily from the lectures delivered by eminent Indian
and international experts during a series of capacity-building
programmes organised in India during 2020 and 2021 under the aegis
of 'Indo-German Cooperation on Seed Sector Development', a
component of the Bilateral Cooperation between the Governments of
India and Germany. Seed Science and Technology, a
multi-disciplinary subject, is advancing rapidly keeping pace with
the development of improved plant varieties and other
climate-resilient technologies. Knowledge of the underlying
biological processes and application of appropriate technologies
for variety maintenance and seed production; quality assurance,
testing and enhancement; processing, packaging and storage etc.,
are important in a seed programme. Chapters presented in the book
is a blend of basic seed biology covering seed development,
maturation, dormancy, germination, vigour and invigoration, and
seed deterioration; variety maintenance and production of
genetically pure seed of open-pollinated and hybrid varieties in a
few key field crops and vegetables, and fundamentals of seed
processing, packaging and storage; and seed quality assurance
systems followed in different countries; testing the essential
components of seed quality including seed health, application of
molecular technologies for precision in testing, and enhancement of
seed quality. It concludes by identifying the key areas of future
seed research and technology development. The book covers the
fundamentals and recent advances of seed science and technology
with the latest research information and an exhaustive and updated
list of references on different topics. It is expected to benefit
the students as well as the scientists, faculty members and seed
sector professionals, working in the public and private seed
sectors, certification authorities and seed producing agencies in
India, and elsewhere.
