Development and characterization of biparental mapping population for the properties of seed and seed coat applicable to seed longevity in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Short life span of soybean seed under ambient storage conditions is a serious challenge for crop production and germplasm maintenance. There are scarce reports on linkage mapping of QTLs for seed longevity, and the molecular mechanisms remain ...

Transcriptional Profile of Soybean Seeds with Contrasting Seed Coat Color
Plants, 2023 Soybean is the primary source of vegetable protein and is used for various purposes, mainly to feed animals. This crop can have diverse seed coat colors, varying from yellow, black, brown, and green to bicolor. Black seed coat cultivars have already been

The orchid seed coat: a developmental and functional perspective [PDF]
Botanical Studies, 2023 Orchid seeds are 'dust-like.' The seed coat is usually thin, with only one to a few cell layers. It originates from the integuments formed during ovule development. In orchids, the outer integument is primarily responsible for forming a mature seed coat.

Seed coat transcriptomic profiling of 5-593, a genotype important for genetic studies of seed coat color and patterning in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyCommon bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) market classes have distinct seed coat colors, which are directly related to the diverse flavonoids found in the mature seed coat.

Seed coat-derived brassinosteroid signaling regulates endosperm development [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAn angiosperm seed is formed by the embryo and endosperm, which are direct products of fertilization, and by the maternal seed coat. These tissues communicate with each other to ensure synchronized seed development. After fertilization, auxin produced in

Pericarp, seed coat anatomy and seed morphology of Calycanthaceae
International Journal of Plant Biology, 2018 Trichome morphology and seed coat anatomy display great feature of taxonomic value in the Calycanthaceae. The current Knowledge about the trichome and seed coat anatomy is mainly based on the external and internal observation.

How Seeds Attract and Protect: Seed Coat Development of Magnolia. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)Seeds are one of the most important characteristics of plant evolution. Within a seed, the embryo, which will grow into a plant, can survive harsh environments. When the seeds are mature, the mother plant will disperse them from its body, allowing them to be taken away to grow in a new place.

Peanut Seed Coat Acts as a Physical and Biochemical Barrier against Aspergillus flavus Infection
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Aflatoxin contamination is a global menace that adversely affects food crops and human health. Peanut seed coat is the outer layer protecting the cotyledon both at pre- and post-harvest stages from biotic and abiotic stresses.

The Seed Coat’s Impact on Crop Performance in Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
Plants, 2022 Seed development in angiosperms produces three genetically and developmentally distinct sub-compartments: the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. The maternally derived seed coat protects the embryo and interacts closely with the external environment ...
