Correlation in Seed Coat Colour and Pod Colour of French Bean Collected form Garhwal Himalayas
Uttarakhand is one of the most important sources of French bean and the landraces grown throughout Uttarakhand are valuable sources of genes for breeding Programme and evolutionary studies. The objective of our experiment was to study about the correlation between pod colour and seed coat colour.

Seed Coat Colour Variation and its Impact on Seed Quality Parameters of Horsegram var. Paiyur 2
Background: Seed coat colour is an indicator of seed maturation and it attain specific colour at physiological maturity. The seed coat is a main modulator of interactions between the internal structures of the seed and the external environment not only preserves integrity of the seed parts but also protects the embryo from mechanical injuries and ...

Inheritance of black seed coat colour in lentil
The purpose of the research was to determine the inheritance of black seed coat colour in lentil variety ‘Beluga’. The seeds collected from F1 plants in cross of ‘Rauza’ (yellow seeds) × ‘Beluga’ (black seeds) were of grey colour with black mottles. F2 ratio of nonblack and black seeds was 62:6, which corresponded to 15:1 dihybrid segregation.

Seed Quality and Longevity of Four Cowpea Accessions in Relation to Seed Coat Colour
Background: Cowpea is one of the most important legumes grown as a sole crop or integrated into farming systems in Africa. Seed quality plays a crucial role in plant population establishment in stressed environment. However, the behaviour of cowpea seeds with different seed coat colours at storage is not known.
