Identifying Seed Research Needs

The scope of the seed research field and the priority needs therein were discussed at length by the Committee. The Committee agreed that the field of seed research extends from seed formation to utilization, encompassing field development and all stages of collection, handling, storage, treatment, and dissemination. Two considerations received pointed emphasis and recognition in the Committee's discussion: (1) that quality and growth capability as well as the number of resulting germinants should be determined in evaluating the effects of collection, handling, storage, treatment, and dissemination on seed; and (2) that economic as well as biological information is needed for all major steps in seed procurement, processing, and use.
