- W2550669969 abstract "and Introduction Many home gardeners are interested in harvesting and storing their own vegetable seeds. For gardeners who have had this in mind, there are several aspects to consider that include: Vegetable seeds are available in two forms, open pollinated and hybrid varieties. Seeds produced from open pollinated varieties often grow into plants with the same or very similar traits as the parent. They are developed from several self-crossing generations, where, over time, relatively pure, genetically stable lines are developed because self-pollination is an intensive form of inbreeding. However, exceptions exist. These include corn and cucurbits. Both readily hybridize (crosspollinate) with other closely related species or varieties meaning collecting seed from these unintended out-crosses will not have the same or similar characteristics as the parent plant. Pollination needs to be more closely managed and manipulated, and these efforts are often not practical for the home gardener. Additionally, it may not be worth the effort to collect certain vegetable seeds due to how difficult it is to obtain without specialized equipment. Hybrid seeds are a result of a controlled cross of two or more parent lines (sources) which results in superior combinations of desired plant characteristics. Plants grown from hybrid seed usually have enhanced growth characteristics such as earlier or increased yields, or improved disease resistance. Seeds produced by crossing two hybrid plants are genetically different from the parent plants and the resulting plants produced from the seeds are usually of inferior quality and do not perform like the parents. Seed viability, the capacity of a seed to germinate, declines greatly over time. Storage methods greatly impact this. Once seeds are properly processed, they should be stored in a cool, dry location. Warmer temperatures and high humidity accelerate seed deterioration which results in a loss of viability." @default.
