Seed coat-derived brassinosteroid signaling regulates endosperm development [PDF]

Nature Communications
An 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

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.

Importance of the lignin content in the pod wall and seed coat on soybean seed physiological and health performances

Journal of Seed Science, 2023
: The effects of lignin on soybean seed quality have been studied since the early 1990s. Initially, higher lignin content in the seed coat was associated with greater resistance to mechanical damage by the seeds.

Seed coat structural and imbibitional characteristics of dark and light coloured Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.) landraces

Heliyon, 2019
Bambara groundnut is cultivated using landraces of different seed coat colours. However, very few studies have associated the seed coat colour (morphological feature) with other physiological and biochemical processes as underlying the observed ...
