Publisher's Synopsis
This glossary is compiled to meet an expressed need for a concise, precise glossary of terms of seed biology and practical seed handling to be used. For example, during translation of any technical papers. This glossary is a complete glossary. It is kept strictly to the seed biology and seed technology.Complete glossary of seed biology and seed technology is arranged alphabetically (A-Z). More than 400 terms are mentioned here. Most of the terms and elaborated with pictures which makes it quite easy to understand each and every term.In order to make this glossary perfect, a unique style is followed. Cross-reference to other related terms and provision of explanatory illustrations where considered relevant are explained. All the reference terms written in italics are explained elsewhere in this glossary.Double words are usually explained under the alphabetic initial of the most prevalent word. Processing, seed; Extraction, seed, etc. rather than seed processing and Seed extraction. In some cases, it has, however, been relevant for easy reference to group terms, e.g. all dormancy terms listed under Dormancy.I tried my best to make this book must include each and every term which is used in seed biology and seed technology.
