Ultra-weak photon emission from the seed coat in response to temperature and humidity - a potential mechanism for environmental signal transduction in the soil seed bank [PDF]
, 2016 Seeds beneath the soil sense the changing environment to time germination and seedling emergence with the optimum time of year for survival. Environmental signals first impact with the seed at the seed coat.

PROMOTION OF EMBRYOS GROWTH FOR IN VITRO CULTURED SEEDS OF LOCAL Citrus limon L. BRUM. F. [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2006 In this study seeds of local lemon were cultured in solidified Murashige and Skoog medium in order to examine the effect of combining Benzyladenine (BA) and Kinetin (Kin), in different concentration on the growth of embryos with / without seed coat ...

Deterring rodent seed‐predation using seed‐coating technologies
Restoration Ecology, 2020 With many degraded environments undergoing restoration efforts, there is a growing need for the optimization of direct seeding practices. Seeds planted on wildlands are often consumed by rodents, leading to reduced plant establishment. Coating seeds in rodent aversive products may prevent seed‐predation.

Seed coat development in explosively dispersed seeds of Cardamine hirsuta [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2019 AbstractBackground and AimsSeeds are dispersed by explosive coiling of the fruit valves in Cardamine hirsuta. This rapid coiling launches the small seeds on ballistic trajectories to spread over a 2 m radius around the parent plant. The seed surface interacts with both the coiling fruit valve during launch and subsequently with the air during flight ...

Cell ReportsSummary: The seed coat, a multi-layered protective structure containing lignin, is critical for the survival and germination of seeds. How seed coat lignin is spatiotemporally deposited and, thus, its physiological role remain poorly understood.
