Novel biomaterial engineering technologies, molecular and hormone analyses to improve lettuce seed priming and production in stressful environments

种子引发是由种子技术公司进行的，以提高包括生菜在内的蔬菜种子的质量。生菜种子可以缓解休眠，快速而均匀地萌发，然后是粗壮和均匀的幼苗，确保即使在紧张的环境中也能提高初级叶沙拉作物的产量。在Germains Seed Technology(诺福克，www.germains.com)和伦敦皇家霍洛威大学种子科学实验室(RHUL，G Leubner教授和T Steinbrecher博士，www.seed biology.eu)之间的这个多学科合作项目中，我们将使用新的生物材料工程技术、生长成像和分子/激素分析来提供创新的诊断工具，从而能够进一步改进生菜种子引发过程。将探索这些新农业技术的可行性和商业潜力，以进一步改善多叶沙拉的引种、育苗和初级作物生产。

Seed priming is conducted by seed technology companies improve the quality of vegetable seeds including lettuce. Primed lettuce seeds provide alleviated dormancy, fast and uniform germination, followed by sturdy and uniform seedlings to ensure improved primary leafy salad crop production even in stressful environments. In this multi-disciplinary collaboration project between Germains Seed Technology (Norfolk, www.germains.com) and the seed science lab at Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL, Prof G Leubner and Dr T Steinbrecher, www.seedbiology.eu) we will use novel biomaterial engineering technologies, growth imaging and molecular/hormone analytics to provide innovative diagnostic tools which will enable to further improve the lettuce seed priming process. The feasibility and commercial potential of these novel agricultural technologies will be explored with the vision to further improve priming, plantlet raising and primary crop production of leafy salad.
