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 ...

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

Identification of candidate genes for soybean seed coat-related traits using QTL mapping and GWAS
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Seed coat color is a typical morphological trait that can be used to reveal the evolution of soybean. The study of seed coat color-related traits in soybeans is of great significance for both evolutionary theory and breeding practices. In this study, 180

Proanthocyanidins in seed coat tegmen and endospermic cap inhibit seed germination in Sapium sebiferum [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Sapium sebiferum, an ornamental and bio-energetic plant, is propagated by seed. Its seed coat contains germination inhibitors and takes a long time to stratify for germination. In this study, we discovered that the S.

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
