UC Davis Hosts Seed Biology, Quality & Pathology Course

On June 28-30, the UC Davis Seed Biotechnology Center is hosting a Seed Biology, Quality & Pathology course. Delivering improved varieties and crop protection through high-quality seed is a vital component of modern agricultural production systems. It is critical that seed producers and marketers have an understanding of the biological factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of seed health, vigor, and viability, and how those qualities are measured. This course presents the scientific background and technical protocols for assessing, enhancing, and maintaining high seed quality and updates participants on new information in these topics, including seed pathology and enhancement. The course targets quality assurance professionals in the seed industry, new employees, consultants, breeders, and seed producers to extend and update their knowledge.
