Seed lots of tomato and capsicum ( and , respectively) are required to be free of quarantine pests before their entry to Australia is permitted. Testing of samples from 118 larger seed lots in the period 2019-2021 revealed that 31 (26.3%) carried one or more of four species, including tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV), which is a quarantine pest for Australia. Testing of samples from a further 659 smaller seed lots showed that 123 (18.7%) carried a total of five species, including ToMMV and tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), which is also a quarantine pest for Australia. Estimated prevalence of contamination by tobamoviruses ranged from 0.388% to 0.004% in contaminated larger seed lots. Analyses of these data allow us to estimate probabilities of detection of contamination under different regulatory settings.

Recently we demonstrated that the seed microbiome of certain spinach (Spinacia oleracea) seed lots can confer disease suppression against Globisporangium ultimum damping-off (previously known as Pythium ultimum). We hypothesised that differences in the microbial community composition of spinach seed lots correlate with the levels of damping-off suppressiveness of each seed lot. Here, we show that a large proportion of variance in seed-associated bacterial (16S) and fungal (ITS1) amplicon sequences was explained by seed lot identity, while 9.

The stem canker disease eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by , is a major impediment of European hazelnut () production in the United States. While most European hazelnut cultivars are highly susceptible to the pathogen, which remains confined to North America, EFB resistant and tolerant genotypes occur in the gene pool at low frequency. At Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA, 5,226 trees were grown from open pollinated seeds collected from Russia, Crimea, Poland, Turkey, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Italy, and the Republic of Georgia between 2002 to 2010.

Article Synopsis
- Simple physico-chemical techniques help assess the composition and viability of plant seeds, aiding in agricultural applications.* -
- Advanced methods like TGA, EPR, and HPLC offer deeper insights into seed quality by measuring factors like water content and organic compounds with fewer extraction steps.* -
- The study tested these techniques on seed lots from three different plant species, highlighting HPLC's importance in Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for evaluating differences in seed compounds.*
