Bookends of the Seed Story

The bookends of THE SEED STORY are seeds. These seeds, which resemble bookends on a bookcase, are the plot’s central theme. They serve as a metaphor for life. As the story unfolds, the story is reframed and the seeds take on new meaning. This story is both a beautiful and a poignant one. It has many elements that are worth contemplating and celebrating.

Horizontal gene transfer

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) occurs between different species of plants and is a significant, active evolutionary process. It is responsible for the acquisition of new traits in both plant species and their commensal microbial ancestors.

Genetic analysis of individual seeds

Molecular genetic methods can identify genes that control dynamic traits in plants. However, the genetic analysis of individual seeds may be limited to a few parameters of interest. For instance, the seed filling rate and weight of a particular genotype may be different from those of other genotypes.

Blockchain technology

Blockchain technology is being explored as a way to improve the seed supply chain. It can help ensure purity of seed and provide transparency to the buyer. With the use of a blockchain, every batch of seeds is assigned a unique digital identity. This means that consumers can verify the origin of their seeds, their product’s quality and the fair price that farmers receive for their crop.
