Seed Physiology of Crops is the basis for seed production. Seed Physiology deals with the physiological and biochemical aspects of seed germination, growth, development and maturation. Even though a number of books are available on seed science and technology, books on seed physiology are meagre, hence, in order to provide a comprehensive review on seed physiology of major crops, an attempt has been made to compile seed physiology in major crops. <br><br> The authors for different topics of this volume were having good expertise in the relevant subject and also have their own credit for research with good number of publications. The chapters in this volume will be very much useful to the readers in understanding the importance of seed physiology of major crops. This book will serve as a compendium of seed growth, development and maturation of major crops in an exhaustive manner. Efforts have been taken to distinguish this book from others as a treasured record which will be useful for the scientists and research scholars of agriculture, particularly, seed technologists and physiologists.
