Seed Biology Electronic Mailing List
SEED-BIOLOGY-L@cornell.edu is an electronic mailing list created for the purpose of fostering a world-wide exchange of seed biology research information. Ralph L. Obendorf manages the mailing list, which was established in April 1995.
To subscribe to the e-list, send an e-mail message to:
      lyris@cornell.edu
The body of the message should be:  join Seed-Biology-L "your name"
where your name (include the quotation marks) is the name you want to be available to the list's administrators. Please join from the same computer (same return address) that you will use to submit messages to Seed-Biology-L@list.cornell.edu

Seed Technology

Handbook of Seed Technology for Genebanks, Volume II. Compendium of Specific Germination Information and Test Recommendations.
Handbooks for Genebanks: No. 3
International Board for Plant Genetic Resources, Rome, 1985
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This Handbook of Seed Technology for Genebanks was written by staff of the Seed Science Laboratory at The University of Reading and published by the then IBPGR (now IPGRI) in 1985. Volume II dealt with many of the principles of seed testing which need to be understood when monitoring the viability of seed accessions maintained in gene banks.
