Seed is not only basic to agriculture but also first link to food chain and the foundation for successful and prosperous of agriculture. It is the most important determinant agricultural production potential, on which the efficacy of other agriculture inputs is dependent. Seeds of appropriate characteristics are required to meet the demand of diverse agro-climatic conditions and intensive cropping systems. Sustained increase in agriculture production and productivity is dependent to a large extent on development of new and improved varieties of crops and an efficient system for timely supply of quality seeds to farmers at a reasonable price. The production of high quality seeds of various crops has become essential and continuous process for increasing agriculture production as well as enhancing economic status of the farmers. The importance of seed quality in terms of genetic quality, physical quality, high germination/vigour and sound health is increasing day by day. Significant developments have been made globally with respect to seed quality enhancement and assessment of various seed quality parameters. Therefore thorough exchange of knowledge on molecular methodology for testing GMO seeds and recent advancement in seed regulations assumes paramount importance. This book contains well researched and thoroughly synthesized information on all aspects related to seed viz., seed quality enhancement techniques, seed testing protocol, seed quarantine, seed policy issues, seed legislation, seed certification, IPR issues, detection and regulation on GMOs.
