“The editors of this excellent book, Dr Julia Buitink and Dr Olivier Leprince, are two world-renowned seed scientists. They have brought together a fantastic team of experts for the ten book chapters with topics covering the broad and diverse field of seed science, providing the latest technological advances and bridging the fundamental and applied research relevant for supporting a more sustainable crop production. In summary, this is a highly attractive and comprehensive book into advances in seed science and technology for more sustainable crop production, written by world experts. It is a valuable source of information for advanced-level university students, academic and industrial researchers, and other professionals across a wide range of plant science disciplines and beyond in seed sector agencies. The attractive format of the chapters with many excellent colour figures and extensive lists of relevant literature are beneficial for university-level teaching and industrial workshops. This illuminating book addresses the key challenges facing seed science and deserves high recommendation.” (Book Review by Professor Gerhard Leubner, Royal Holloway University of London, UK – Published in Seed Science Research) “In Advances in seed science and technology for more sustainable crop production, Dr Julia Buitink and Professor Olivier Leprince have collected the works of notable authors to establish a higher understanding of seed quality, germination and dormancy, not to mention how seeds for both crop plants and weeds behave when in the soil or stored for future use. I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it. It contains literally thousands of references and resources that I expect to use well into the future.” (Book Review by Dr Michael Sussman, USDA-ARS, USA – Published in Seed Science and Technology)
