Assessment of onion (Allium cepa L.) seed quality by means of image analysis For vegetables there is a lack of information about methodologies which provide, in a quick and safe way, data on seed quality, given the economic importance and the high technology used in the production of these species. Many techniques have been proposed to assess the morphology of seed and other parameters related to their physiologic potential and, among them, we can mention the use of radiographic imaging and computerized imaging analysis of seedlings. The aim of the present research was to study the relationship between the internal morphology observed with the aid of radiographic images and the quality of onion seeds, and to investigate the possibility of using the computerized system of seedling images (SVIS Seed Vigor Image System) to detect vigor differences among seed batches and to compare with the information provided by the vigor tests traditionally used. Five batches of two different varieties of onion seeds were used. The study was carried out in two trials, wherein the first essay consisted on the study of the radiographic images and the second one consisted of the use of SVIS for seedling analysis. The seeds of the second essay were stored for twelve months and analyzed at each six months. It is concluded that the onion seed morphology impairs the analysis of the radiographic images, but the use of it allows to identify defects, which are related to abnormal seedlings and/or dead seeds; SVIS is efficient to identify different levels of vigor among onion seed batches; the assessment using SVIS must be done at the fifth day after sowing.
