Seed research is adapted to the advances obtained and the needs to be met. The objective of this work was to identify the relevant aspects of the information published in Mexican scientific journals related to improving seed quality and production. The information was obtained from 16 Mexican scientific journals from the catalog of the National Council for Science and Technology of Mexico, in its subject area of Biotechnology and Agricultural Sciences. The review period was from January 2010 to July 2021. A total of 149 papers, mostly developed in Mexico, were reviewed. Of 79 papers, their topic focuses on the study of physiological quality. Corn seed was the most studied (27 papers) and in contrast, studies on 50 species were observed with a single paper. The most commonly used keywords were germination (32), Zea mays (15), seed(s) (14), and vigor (13). Among the five most cited papers, two focus on public policies and seed market. Although the number of papers on seeds published in Mexico is low, a wide collaboration between authors is observed. It is necessary to strengthen other areas of research to solve problems such as seed sanitary quality and conservation.

Palavras-chave : biotechnology and agricultural sciences; corn; germination and vigor; seed production; seed quality.
