Seeds are the major form of dispersal of plants in
the environment. Seeds of many plant species are exceptionally
adapted to harsh environmental conditions provided they are in a
state of desiccation. Spectacular cases of seed longevity have been
reported. It’s one of the singular case of pluricellular, differentiate
eukaryotic organ able to survive several years in anhydrobiosis.
Plant scientific community explore these fascinating aspects of
seed aging thanks to the immense possibilities now offered to
create/modify plants at a much faster rate and in a more accurate
way than through classical and molecular genetic approaches
and genomic tools. These investigations allowed unveiling seed
specificities against aging processe
