Improving Soybean Seed Performance with Natural Colorant-based Novel Seed-Coats

Journal of Crop Improvement, 2015
In the present study, Tagetes erecta, Rheum emodi, and Curcuma longa extracts and their combination with commercial polymer-based seed coats have been developed. Seed coats were screened for enhancing the keeping quality of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds. Loss in seed-quality parameters, such as percent germination, growth, seed vigor, moisture,

INHERITANCE OF SEED COAT COLOR IN BRASSICA JUNCEA

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1979
The genetics of seed coat color inheritance in Brassica juncea (L.) Coss. were studied. It was concluded that this character is controlled by two duplicate pairs of genes (R1, R2) for brown color, either of which can produce brown seed color when a single dominant allele is present. Yellow seed results when all alleles at both loci are recessive.

Effect of seed coat color on seed dormancy in different environments

Euphytica, 2002
The weather is often damp during seed development and harvesting in Hokkaido, in the north of Japan. In order to develop white-grained wheat cultivars tolerant top re-harvest sprouting, seed dormancy was investigated under field and greenhouse conditions using red- and white-grained varieties as well as recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross ...

Seed coat color and seed weight contribute differential responses of targeted metabolites in soybean seeds

Food Chemistry, 2017
The distribution and variation of targeted metabolites in soybean seeds are affected by genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we used 192 soybean germplasm accessions collected from two provinces of Korea to elucidate the effects of seed coat color and seeds dry weight on the metabolic variation and responses of targeted metabolites.

Proanthocyanidin Content of Broad Bean Seeds: Relationship of Seed Coat Color

1992
Seed coats of broad bean (Vicia faba L., family Fabaceae), are one of eight colors: beige, black, brown, green, red, spotted, violet, or white. With the exception of white seeds, proanthocyanidins are prominent phenolic constituents of the seed coat. The amounts of these substances extractable by polar solvents range from about 1 percent of dry weight ...

Genetics of Seed Coat Color and Pattern in Lentil

Journal of Heredity, 1990
Lentil [Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris (Medik.) Williams] is a major grain legume (pulse) crop in North America. Various markets demand specific seed coat colors and/or patterns. We attempted to determine the mode of inheritance of seed coat color and pattern in the lentil.

Seed Coat Cracking in Soybean Isolines for Pubescence Color and Maturity

Crop Science, 2002
Seed coats of soybean crack under various stress conditions. Cracking of seed coats degrades the external appearance of soybean seeds and reduces their commercial value. Previous studies revealed that the T gene responsible for pubescence color, and the maturity genes, E1 and E5, had inhibitory effects on low‐temperature induced seed coat cracking. The

Progress in genes related to seed-coat color in soybean

Hereditas (Beijing), 2012
Seed-coat color has changed from black to yellow during natural and artificial selection of cultivated soybean from wild soybean, and it is also an important morphological marker. Therefore, discovering genes related to the soybean seed-coat color will play a very important role in breeding and evolutionary study.

Molecular mechanism of manipulating seed coat coloration in oilseed Brassica species

Journal of Applied Genetics, 2013
Yellow seed is a desirable characteristic for the breeding of oilseed Brassica crops, but the manifestation of seed coat color is very intricate due to the involvement of various pigments, the main components of which are flavonols, proanthocyanidin (condensed tannin), and maybe some other phenolic relatives, like lignin and melanin.

Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Seed Coat Color in Brassica napus

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2017
Seed coat color is an extremely important breeding characteristic of Brassica napus. To elucidate the factors affecting the genetic architecture of seed coat color, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of seed coat color was conducted with a diversity panel comprising 520 B. napus cultivars and inbred lines.
