Special Issue on Seed Production

Seed Production is considered as a technique used for maintaining genetic diversity and identity, seed harvesting, seed cleaning and seed storage. The efficient production of high-quality and reliable seed is critical to farmer productivity and profitability. It is a complex process. The parents of a new variety must be crossed at their purest and that needs great care while they are growing. Seeds can serve as the delivery system not only for improved genetics but also for new planting and production methods. It is important to ensure seeds quality which is a major impact on potential crop yield and agricultural environment.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring seed production. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Technology for seed production and regeneration
• Genetic integrity of seed
• Seed harvesting, cleaning and storage
• Regional testing of seed production
• Means of pollination
• Hybridization of seed
• Case study

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Seed Production” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
