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

Seed-coat thickness explains contrasting germination responses to smoke and heat in Leucadendron [PDF]

, 2022
Fire stimulates the germination of most seeds in fire-prone vegetation. Fruits of Leucadendron (Proteaceae) are winged achenes or nutlets that correlate with their requirements for smoke and/or heat in promoting germination.

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.

Seed Nutrition and Quality, Seed Coat Boron and Lignin Are Influenced by Delayed Harvest in Exotically-Derived Soybean Breeding Lines under High Heat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The timing of harvest is a major factor affecting seed quality in soybean, particularly in Midsouthern USA, when rain during harvest period is not uncommon.

MC03g0810, an Important Candidate Gene Controlling Black Seed Coat Color in Bitter Gourd (Momordica spp.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Seed coat color is one of the most intuitive phenotypes in bitter gourd (Momordica spp.). Although the inheritance of the seed coat color has been reported, the gene responsible for it is still unknown.

Identification of the egusi seed trait locus (eg) and its suppressor gene associated with the thin seed coat trait in watermelon

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Egusi watermelon has a unique egusi seed type, which could be useful for breeding both edible seeds and edible flesh in watermelon. However, the genetic basis of the unique egusi seed type is not clear.

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,

Seed coat colour of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. and Coss.] is associated with Bju.TT8 homologs identifiable by targeted functional markers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Seed coat colour is an important trait in Indian mustard. Breeding for seed coat colour needs precise knowledge of mode of inheritance and markers linked to it.

Seed coat structural and imbibitional characteristics of dark and light coloured Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.) landraces

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 ...
