Seed Coat Development and Dormancy [PDF]
, 2007 Two major types of dormancy mechanisms exist: embryo dormancy where the agents inhibiting germination are inherent to the embryo, and coat-imposed dormancy where inhibition is conferred by the seed envelopes (Bewley, 1997). Generally, complex interactions between the embryo and covering structures determine whether a seed will germinate.

Antioxidant Contributors in Seed, Seed Coat, and Cotyledon of γ-ray-Induced Soybean Mutant Lines with Different Seed Coat Colors [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2021 The development of soybean with high antioxidant activities for use in the food and cosmetics industries is a target of breeding programs. In soybean, antioxidants are associated with seed color, although the metabolic basis for seed coloration remains incompletely understood.

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.

The relationship between seed coat color and seed quality in watermelon Crimson sweet
Horticultural Science, 2010 This work was carried out to determine the relationship between seed coat color and seed quality in Crimson sweet watermelon. Seed lots (1, 2, 3, and 4) were prepared taking into consideration seed coat colors in fresh seeds with naked eye.

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 ...

Multi-omics analysis dissects the genetic architecture of seed coat content in Brassica napus
Genome Biology, 2022 Background Brassica napus is an important vegetable oil source worldwide. Seed coat content is a complex quantitative trait that negatively correlates with the seed oil content in B. napus.

Dynamic patterns of gene expression and regulatory variation in the maize seed coat
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Seed size is an important factor contributing to maize yield, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. The seed coat, which serves as one of the three components of the maize grain, determines seed size to a certain extent.
