Weed Science, 1973
Mucilage was detectable on the seeds of 8% of 233 plant species collected in Nevada and adjacent California. Mucilaginous species were restricted to the Cruciferae, Euphorbiaceae, Labiatae, Onograceae, and Plantaginaceae. Many of the species with mucilaginous seed coats are weeds.

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.

Effects of tallowtree seed coat on seed germination
Journal of Forestry Research, 2011We 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.

Seed Coat Regulation of Soybean Seed Imbibition
Crop Science, 1988Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds are prone to imbibitional injury, which may culminate in significant economic losses. This study was designed to investigate the regulation of soybean seed imbibition by the seed coat. The intact seed coat delayed water uptake in the embryonic axis, cotyledons, and whole seed during the first 8 h soaking. The seed

Mechanical Properties of Wheat Seed Coats
Cereal Chemistry, 2001ABSTRACTThe 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.

A seed coat-specific promoter for canola
Biotechnology Letters, 2009The canola industry generates more than $11 billion of yearly income to the Canadian economy. One problem of meal quality is the dark polyphenolic pigments that accumulate in the seed coat. Seed coat-specific promoters are a pre-requisite to regulate the genes involved in seed coat development and metabolism.

Germination inhibitors in the pine seed coat
Planta, 1978Inhibitors from (Pinus pinea L.) seed coats were separated using paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and a Sephadex G-10 column. The inhibitory activity was resolved into several fractions. One of these behaved similarly to abscisic acid.

Dormancy in seeds imposed by the seed coat
1965The resting condition of many seeds, especially those of different farm and garden crops, is maintained only as long as the seeds are in dry storage. As soon as a suitably moist medium and a favorable temperature are provided germination proceeds almost immediately.

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%).
