Non-destructive identification of single hard seed via multispectral imaging analysis in six legume species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical dormancy (hard seed) occurs in most species of Leguminosae family and has great consequences not only for ecological adaptation but also for agricultural practice of these species. A rapid, nondestructive and on-site screening method to detect hard seed within species is fundamental important for maintaining seed vigor and germplasm storage as well as understanding seed adaptation to various environment. In this study, the potential of multispectral imaging with object-wise multivariate image analysis was evaluated as a way to identify hard and soft seeds in Acacia seyal, Galega orientulis, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Medicago sativa, Melilotus officinalis, and Thermopsis lanceolata.
