Why Seed Vigor Matters
When farmers plant seeds, they are not only investing in a crop but also in its future performance. While germination percentage is a common indicator of seed quality, it does not always reveal how seeds will perform under real field conditions. This is where the seed vigor test comes into play. Seed vigor reflects the potential of seeds to germinate rapidly...
Plant genome size, the total amount of DNA within a single copy of an organism's nuclear genome, is a fundamental characteristic of plant biology. Despite its central importance, genome size varies immensely among plants, ranging from less than 100 Mbp to over 150 Gbp. This remarkable diversity highlights the need for precise genome size determination, which has broad implications for taxonomy,...

Introduction
The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized the field of plant biology, providing a powerful tool for functional genomics and crop improvement through targeted RNAi gene silencing. RNAi is a natural process by which cells regulate the expression of specific genes. By harnessing this process, scientists can selectively silence genes in plants, allowing for the...
