Seed Technology Journal

 

Published jointly by:
  ASSOCIATION OF OFFICIAL SEED ANALYSTS ● SOCIETY OF COMMERCIAL SEED TECHNOLOGISTS


Aims and Scope: Seed Technology is an international journal containing scientific and technological papers in all areas of seed science and technology. The emphasis is on applied and basic research in seed physiology, pathology and biology that may relate to seed development, maturation, germination, dormancy and deterioration. Studies on seed production, sampling, testing, conditioning, distribution and storage are also included. Short communications from seed analysts and technologists are encouraged and will be published as Seed Tech Notes. These notes include new techniques, standardization of laboratory tests and documentation of anatomical and pathological observations of seed and seedling development. The journal also includes timely review articles in all areas of seed technology that may relate directly to the seed industry.

Types of Papers: Original research papers, review articles and Seed Tech notes are reviewed for publication. Manuscripts should be typed, double spaced and three copies sent to the Editor. After acceptance, a disk copy of the original hard copy is also required. Potential authors should note that there are no page charges, however reprints can be ordered at a minimal fee. The journal is co-sponsored by the two predominant organizations in North America with a direct interest in seed technology; the Association of Official Seed Analysts and the Society of Commercial Seed Technologists.
