Modern seed handling systems can damage seed and reduce germination, especially in sensitive soybeans. “Soybeans are the poster child for mechanical seed damage and its effects on germination and ...

ANGELINA COUNTY, Texas (KTRE) - An old friend of mine, Joe Noel, asked me how to germinate a seed from some fruit he had. That is a request that I tend to get frequently. “I had the best peach the ...

The donation of a miniscule human embryo the size of a poppy seed has given scientists an extremely rare glimpse into an early stage of human development that has long been difficult to study, the ...
