Food storage encompasses the methods and conditions used to preserve harvested plant material, maintaining its quality and viability over time after harvest. For plant scientists, understanding storage physiology is critical to reducing post-harvest losses, preserving seed germination potential, and maintaining nutritional and biochemical properties in staple crops. Research in this area helps optimize storage conditions to extend shelf life, prevent spoilage from pests or pathogens, and support global food security.
