Germination Test for Plant Seeds

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention introduces a method for testing the germination capability of plant seeds. The technique works by using a harmless dye, resazurin, which allows for the repeated testing of the same seeds without damaging them. Additionally, the test results are not affected by differences in the size of the seeds.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Quality control in seed production and distribution
• Research studies on seed viability and plant breeding
• Monitoring long-term storage effects on seed germination
• Non-destructive testing in genetic conservation programs

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Allows repeated testing of the same seeds, preserving valuable samples
• Non-destructive and does not harm the seeds
• Accurate results regardless of seed size variations
• Facilitates more reliable and efficient seed viability analysis

Patent Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Analyse der Keimfähigkeit von Pflanzensamen. Das Verfahren hat den Vorteil, dass es die Reaktion des für Pflanzensamen ungiftigen Farbstoffs Resazurin nachweist und daher die wiederholte Testung derselben Samen ermöglicht, und dass z.B. Variationen in der Größe der Pflanzensamen das Ergebnis nicht beeinträchtigen.
