“…The studies on automated analysis of seedling images have basically compared results obtained from SVIS® with those from tests usually accepted for seed vigor evaluation, as observed with melon (Marcos-Filho et al, 2006), soybean , cucumber (Chiquito et al, 2012), sweet corn (Alvarenga et al, 2012), and wheat (Silva et al, 2012), among other crops.…”

The refinement of vigor tests and the possibility of utilizing computer resources for the effective evaluation of the seed physiological potential have attracted considerable interest from research and seed technologists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological potential of maize seeds using the newly-created Automated Analysis of Seed Vigor System (Vigor-S) compared with other recommended seed vigor tests; two maize hybrids were used, each represented by seven seed lots. Germination and vigor (cold test, saturated salt accelerated aging, and field seedling emergence) evaluations were conducted. For the evaluation of seed vigor with the use of seedling image analysis resources, two systems were compared: the Seed Vigor Imaging System (SVIS ® ), developed by Ohio State University, USA and the Vigor-S, resulting from collaboration between USP/ESALQ and EMBRAPA (Embrapa Instrumentation). Using these two systems, three day old seedlings were scanned and the images were analyzed.Similar results for the vigor index, uniformity of development, and seedling length were obtained.The computerized image analysis of seedlings using Vigor-S has advantages with respect to accuracy, speed, and the possibility of automatic application to a worksheet. It is a consistent alternative for the evaluation of maize seed vigor, and produces information compatible with that obtained by the accelerated aging test and SVIS ® .

“…The SVIS ® software was also efficient in the analysis of other species, such as: soybean (Hoffmaster et al, 2003;Marcos-Filho et al, 2009); maize (Otoni and McDonald, 2005;Mondo et al, 2011), cucumber (Chiquito et al, 2012); eggplant (Silva and Cicero, 2014a); tomato (Silva and Cicero, 2014b); melon (Marcos-Filho et al, 2006), among other species. It is worth highlighting that the computerized image analysis of seedlings is based on seedling growth and uniformity, whereas vigor tests such as accelerated aging, seedling emergence, cold test, and others, do not take into account the size and uniformity of seedling development, since the results are reported in percentages of normal seedlings or emergent seedlings; the differences among evaluation methods may explain the possible differences in lot ranking, especially those presenting intermediate behaviors.…”

“…Considering that the inclusion of new approaches depends directly on the research, image analysis is a recent alternative to help understanding different aspects of seed development, referring mainly to morphological aspects, and providing consistent information quickly and without the influence of the seed analyst's subjectivity (Chiquito et al, 2012;Marcos-Filho, 2015).…”

-The computerized image analysis of seedlings constitutes an efficient technique to evaluate the quality of seed lots, since it is quick in responding, has a simple execution and reproduction. The goal of this research was to verify the efficiency of the computer image analysis of seedlings to detect vigor differences among broccoli seed lots and compare them with other traditionally used vigor tests. Computerized image analysis were performed by the Seed Vigor Imaging System (SVIS ® ), using 3-day-old seedlings and the results were compared to germination at first count, seedling emergence, accelerated aging and electrical conductivity tests. Evaluations were performed in three experimental periods (before storage, 6 and 12 months of storage at 20 °C and 45-50% RH). A completely randomized design with eight replications of 25 seeds was used. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and means were compared by Scott-Knott test at 5% error probability. It is concluded that it is possible to detect vigor differences among broccoli seed lots by the computerized image analysis of seedlings with SVIS ® , similarly to traditional vigor tests.

“…The SVIS software has been applied to seed vigor evaluations in various species, such as corn (HOFFMASTER et al, 2005), sweet corn ), soybean (HOFFMASTER et al, 2003MARCOS FILHO et al, 2009), lettuce (KIKUTI;PEÑALOZA et al, 2005), sun hemp (SILVA et al, 2012), cucumber (CHIQUITO et al, 2012) and melon (MARCOS FILHO et al, 2006). The software has also been recommended as a useful and reliable alternative test for seed vigor assessment in comparison to traditional vigor tests.…”

“…Additionally, the results are not subject to the influence of human interpretations and could reduce the time and cost spent on seed analyses. Furthermore, it is always important to evaluate the physiological potential of seed lots using at least two different tests and to perform a careful interpretation of the results to obtain a high consistency in generating reliable information (CHIQUITO et al, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. Seed vigor is a major attribute in the determination of whether a seed lot can be commercialized. Different physiological tests are used to assess seed vigor and are generally based on different concepts, which could lead to variable interpretations, particularly when comparing lots presenting different vigor levels. This study was conducted to compare the different approaches used to evaluate bell pepper seed vigor and verify the applicability of the Seed Vigor Imaging System (SVIS) for this purpose. The experiment was performed using four seed lots of bell pepper hybrids in two periods, and the evaluations involved germination, seedling emergence, seedling emergence speed index, saturated salt accelerated aging and image analysis. The use of seedling imaging analysis by SVIS is a new approach for bell pepper seed vigor evaluation. Both the software and traditional tests provided sufficient information for seed vigor analysis, enabling the segregation of the analyzed seed lots. Thus, the new method fulfills the requirement for an efficient, rapid, cost-effective and standardized method that allows comparisons among laboratories and avoids human influence on the interpretation of the results. SVIS can be considered a feasible option to be included in quality assurance programs of the bell pepper seed industry.Keywords: seed analysis, SVIS, image analysis, seed quality.Novas abordagens na avaliação do vigor de sementes de pimentão RESUMO. Para a avaliação do vigor de sementes podem ser utilizados uma série de testes fisiológicos, os quais, baseados em diferentes conceitos, podem resultar em diferentes interpretações dos resultados obtidos, especialmente quando há comparações de lotes com diferentes níveis de vigor. O objetivo desse trabalho foi comparar diferentes abordagens para avaliação do vigor de sementes de pimentão e verificação da aplicabilidade do programa computacional 'Seed Vigour Imaging System' (SVIS) para este propósito. Dessa forma, em dois períodos de avaliação, avaliou-se quatro lotes de sementes de pimentão por meio dos testes de germinação, emergência de plântulas, envelhecimento acelerado e análise de imagens. O uso do SVIS pode ser considerado uma nova abordagem para avaliação do vigor de sementes de pimentão. Tanto o programa computacional como os testes tradicionais forneceram informação suficiente para a análise de vigor de sementes, permitindo igualmente a segregação dos lotes analisados e, ainda, preenchem requisitos importantes para um teste laboratorial, como padronização, eficiência, rapidez e baixo-custo. Assim, permitem a comparação entre laboratórios e diminuem os riscos da influência humana na interpretação de resultados, podendo ser considerado uma possível opção para ser incluída em programas de controle de qualidade na produção de sementes de pimentão.Palavras-chave: análise de sementes, SVIS, análise de imagens, qualidade de sementes.
