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.

Chromosomal Locations and Interactions of Four Loci Associated With Seed Coat Color in Watermelon
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Different species of edible seed watermelons (Citrullus spp.) are cultivated in Asia and Africa for their colorful nutritious seeds. Consumer preference varies for watermelon seed coat color.

Seed anatomical studies on dormancy and germination in Chamaecrista absus [PDF]
, 2016 Present study was conducted to analyze the anatomical structure of seed to study the dormancy behaviour in Chamaecrista absus. Seed germination behaviour was also studied after breaking the seed dormancy by artificial seed treatments.

PHO1 Exports Phosphate from the Chalazal Seed Coat to the Embryo in Developing Arabidopsis Seeds. [PDF]
, 2017 Seed production requires the transfer of nutrients from the maternal seed coat to the filial endosperm and embryo. Because seed coat and filial tissues are symplasmically isolated, nutrients arriving in the seed coat via the phloem must be exported to ...

Seed coat development in Velloziaceae: Primary homology assessment and insights on seed coat evolution [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2014 • Premise of the study: Seed coat characteristics have historically been used to infer taxonomic relationships and are a potential source of characters for phylogenetic reconstruction. In particular, seed coat morphoanatomy has never been studied in detail in Velloziaceae. One character based on seed surface microsculpture has been used in phylogenies,

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 ...

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication
, 2020 It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Characterization of proanthocyanidin metabolism in pea (Pisum sativum) seeds [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Proanthocyanidins (PAs) accumulate in the seeds, fruits and leaves of various plant species including the seed coats of pea (Pisum sativum), an important food crop.
