The Development of Knowledge and a Conceptual Framework for Seed Longevity
Author(s): Manoh Ramky*
The length of time a seed can remain viable is known as its lifespan or longevity. Seed longevity is a complicated property that varies significantly
between species and even between species-specific seed lots. From anecdotal "Thumb Rules" to empirically based models, biophysical
explanations for why those models sometimes work or fail, and the profound realization that seeds are the model of the underexplored realm
of biology when water is so limited that the cytoplasm solidifies, our scientific understanding of seed longevity has advanced. Moisture and
temperature, as well as the duration of a person's life, are crucial environmental variables that determine survival or demise. The mechanisms by
which these factors influence glassy properties and cause cytoplasmic solidification are becoming better understood. The chemical reactions that
