Peroxides in seed coatings

Outlook on Agriculture, 1984
Most seeds require the presence of oxygen during the early stages of germination and even in rice, where it is not essential, oxygen favours a good start. Recent research has explored the practical advantages of coating seeds with peroxide-containing dressings which will liberate oxygen at a controlled rate.

Mechanical Properties of Wheat Seed Coats

Cereal Chemistry, 2001
ABSTRACTThe crumbliness of starchy endosperm and the resistance of bran are key characteristics that enhance milling behavior of wheat and are dependent on the genetic origin and moisture content of the grain. A method was developed to measure the mechanical properties of bran samples based on the measurement of tensile stress and strain.

Determination of ten stilbenes and their antioxidant activity of peony seed coat, seed kernel and seed coat extracts

China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica, 2016
The seed of tree peony and herbaceous peony contained a variety of stilbenes which possess many pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory, allergy and neuraminidase inhibition. In order to develop and use peony seed resources, a simple and sensitive HPLC-DAD was developed for simultaneous determination of 10 stilbenes in peony ...

Seed Coat Properties and Longevity of Soybean Seeds

Journal of New Seeds, 2010
Comparative evaluation of the physical characteristics of seeds, viz. color, size and density, proportion of seed coat, pores on the seed coat surface and “hourglass” cells in the seed coat, and seed longevity was made in 12 soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] varieties.

Effect of seed coat on peach seed germination

Scientia Horticulturae, 1985
Abstract Various treatments to remove the seed coat surgically revealed its role in preventing germination of non-stratified peach seed. The peach embryo from a non-chilled seed is not dormant, as it germinates readily when the seed coat is completely removed.

Effects of tallowtree seed coat on seed germination

Journal of Forestry Research, 2011
We measured physiological parameters including water uptake, in-vitro embryo germination ratio, and seed coat structure observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to explore the influence of seed coat on the germination of seeds of tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum (Linn) Roxb.). Tallow tree seeds had good water permeability.

The role of seed coats in seed viability

The Botanical Review, 1994
The seed coat is the seed’s primary defense against adverse environmental conditions. A hard seed coat protects the seed not only from mechanical stress but also from microorganism invasion and from temperature and humidity fluctuations during storage.

Biochemical composition of whole seed, decorticated seed and seed coat in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) of different seed coat colours

Journal of Oilseeds Research, 2014
Biochemical analysis of whole seed, decorticated seed and seed coat of different coloured varieties of sesame were studied. Maximum oil content in whole and decorticated seed was recorded in white seeds (47.5 and 51%, respectively). Light brown seed coat showed maximum oil content (15.0%).

Coating Seeds with Polyvinyl Resins

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1980
SummaryTwo resins were tried and both showed low toxicity to turnip, carrot and cabbage seeds, when tested immediately after treatment, but reduced the germination of onion seed. Compared with ‘Polycell’ treatment, resin treatment did not reduce germination consistently after 18 months’ storage.
