METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE GERMINATION ABILITY OF MAIZE SEED USING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for predicting the germinating profile of a maize seed, the method comprising: a) measuring one or more low field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) parameter(s) on said maize seed, and b) predicting the germinating profile of the seed based on the measurement of step (a), using an appropriate mathematical model.
