Seed science focuses on the biology, production, quality, storage, and performance of seeds, while seed technology ensures the development and distribution of high-quality planting materials for sustainable agriculture. Strong seed systems are fundamental to increasing crop productivity, preserving genetic diversity, and ensuring global food security.
Recent innovations in seed physiology, seed testing, treatment technologies, storage methods, and genetic purity assessment are enhancing seed quality and improving crop establishment under diverse environmental conditions.
This session will highlight current research in seed biology, seed production, quality assurance, seed conservation, certification systems, and advanced technologies supporting modern agriculture.
