Seeds (ISSN: 2674-1024) is an international, scientific, open access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to seed science, technology, and biology. Seed science is a broad area that covers a range of topics, from more biological-related aspects (physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, dormancy, omics) to technological approaches (seed priming, seed production, seed establishment, among others). This journal publishes review articles, regular research articles, communications, and short notes.
