Abstract
Possible influences of herbicides on the seeds of plants are of major concern, because chemical weed control in agricultural crops should not affect such plant physiological processes as germination, seed formation, or seed quality in a negative way. Since the development of triazine herbicides, their influence on seeds has been investigated from the early stages preceding germination to the formation of new seeds and even to the physiological behavior of these seeds following several generations of plants.
