Genetic variability of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) related to seed coat thickness and the cotyledon cell wall.

Food Research International, 2020
Dry beans are an affordable, nutritious food that often require long cooking times. Storage time and conditions, growing environment, and genotype influence cooking times. Little is known about factors underlying genetic variation for cooking time. Using

Melatonin improves the germination rate of cotton seeds under drought stress by opening pores in the seed coat

PeerJ, 2020
The germination of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds is affected by drought stress; however, little is known about the physiological mechanism affecting germination and the effect of melatonin (MT) on cotton seed germination under drought stress ...

The orchid seed coat: a developmental and functional perspective

Botanical Studies, 2023
Orchid seeds are 'dust-like.' The seed coat is usually thin, with only one to a few cell layers. It originates from the integuments formed during ovule development. In orchids, the outer integument is primarily responsible for forming a mature seed coat.

Diversity of metabolite accumulation patterns in inner and outer seed coats of pomegranate: exploring their relationship with genetic mechanisms of seed coat development

Horticulture Research, 2020
The expanded outer seed coat and the rigid inner seed coat of pomegranate seeds, both affect the sensory qualities of the fruit and its acceptability to consumers.

Effects of H2SO4, GA3, and cold stratification on the water content, coat composition, and dormancy release of Tilia miqueliana seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionTilia miqueliana is an endemic species whose population is declining. The permeability barrier and mechanical constraint of the pericarp (seed coat) are important causes of its seed dormancy.

Genetic Mapping and Discovery of the Candidate Gene for Black Seed Coat Color in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Seed coat color is an important trait highly affecting the seed quality and flesh appearance of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). However, the molecular regulation mechanism of seed coat color in watermelon is still unclear.

Asymbiotic germination of Vanilla planifolia in relation to the timing of seed collection and seed pretreatments

Botanical Studies, 2021
Background Vanilla planifolia is an important tropical orchid for production of natural vanilla flavor. Traditionally, V. planifolia is propagated by stem cuttings, which produces identical genotype that are sensitive to virulent pathogens.

Identification of tannic cell walls at the outer surface of the endosperm upon Arabidopsis seed coat rupture

The Plant Journal, 2020
SUMMARY The seed coat is specialized dead tissue protecting the plant embryo from mechanical and oxidative damage. Tannins, a type of flavonoids, are antioxidants known to accumulate in the Arabidopsis seed coat and transparent testa mutant seeds ...
