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 ...

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.

Plant Physiology, 2021 Physical dormancy in seeds exists widely in seed plants and plays a vital role in maintaining natural seed banks. The outermost cuticle of the seed coat forms a water-impermeable layer, which is critical for establishing seed physical dormancy.

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.
