Abstract
Probably no other component of seed quality has been the subject of as much controversy and misunderstanding as seed vigour. Although the complex underlying mechanisms of seed vigour have not been fully described, much progress has been made in our understanding of the phenomenon and its practical consequences. This first of two articles on seed vigour and seed vigour testing summarizes our current understanding of this seed property.
