| book description |
This book presents information about seeds and their surrounding environment. It brings together fundamental concepts and applied perspectives to explain seed development, regulation, quality, and performance under diverse environmental conditions. The book emphasizes coordinated biological processes rather than isolated mechanisms and serves as a single resource that connects seed physiology, molecular regulation, and agricultural relevance. The chapters progress from core aspects of seed development, metabolism, and maternal–paternal control to molecular signaling, hormonal regulation, and comparative seed biology of monocots and dicots. The book covers environmental regulation of seed growth, embryo–endosperm communication, and the role of microbes in the spermosphere. It also examines seed maturation, dormancy, nutrient loading, and metabolic pathways that determine seed quality. Advanced sections address genotype–environment interactions, epigenetic regulation, omics‑based insights, and integrated regulatory networks. Emerging areas such as seed priming technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning applications in seed science are included, along with post‑harvest seed biology and future directions of the field. This book serves as a useful reading resource for plant scientists, seed biologists, agronomists, and researchers working in crop improvement and stress biology. It also supports postgraduate students, doctoral scholars, and candidates preparing for competitive agricultural examinations who require a structured and comprehensive understanding of modern seed science.
