Effect of Seed Coat Colour on the Seed Quality of Water Melon (Citrullus Lanatus)
Africa Journal of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, 2018Water melon is one of most cultivated vegetable fruit crop in the world. In Kenya the demand for this fruit for both local and export markets outstrips the supply. For Kenya to meet the high demand for water melon, quality seed is paramount since it guarantees high germination rate and vigor and on sequential high crop yields.

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.) is an underutilised African legume that fits the same ecological niche as Arachis hypogea. It is still cultivated using landraces and little is known about their seed quality. The current study evaluated seed quality characteristics (viability and vigour) of a local landrace on the basis of seed coat and ...

Inheritance of Seed-coat colour in Gram (Cicer arietinum)
Madras Agricultural Journal, 1950It was stated in a previous paper by Ramanatha Ayyar and Balasubrahmanyan (1936) that the seed-coat colour Rood's brown corresponding to the seed grade CS 12 was formed by the addition of factor T to CS 10 and that T had no effect when P was absent.

Cell wall composition and nutrients in soybean genotypesof varying seed coat colour
Legume Research - An International Journal, 2016The objective of this study was to characterize the cell wall composition and nutrients in twenty soybean genotypes varying in seed coat colour. Mean seed weight among different groups differed significantly and followed the order: brown>yellow>green>black. Moisture content varied from 6.1-17.9% and three black, one brown and one green soybean

AbstractBlack seed of Scots pine are more resistant to damping‐off. The content of certain elements and chemical compounds in the seed coats differs widely depending on seed colour and physiological state (resting, germinating and infected seeds). The quantitative and qualitative differences in fatty acids content, total nitrogen, amino acids, some ...

Relationship between seed coat colour and seed vigour in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp (L.)
Journal of Food LegumesIn the present study, the 25 genotypes were grouped into two seed color groups including pigmented (n = 19; black, brown, dark brown, grey, dark grey seed color) and unpigmented (n = 6; cream and white seed color) for studying the association of seed coat color with seed vigor.

Bean beetles (Callosobruchus maculatus) are known to evaluate their host quality and texture of seed coat. However, the effect of seed-coat colour on oviposition decision has remained unclear. Cowpea seeds, in which white and brown areas are equals in size, were chosen for oviposition decision tests.

The genetics of the presence of coloured stripes on the flower standard in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was studied. One dominant gene was involved in the presence of purple stripes in PR1144-5/‘Badillo’ and 92BG-7/‘Verano’ populations. Furthermore, flowers without purple stripes co-segregated with light red and white seeds in both populations,

Relationships of rapeseed strength properties to seed size, colour and coat fibre composition
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2008AbstractBACKGROUND: The size and strength of rapeseeds are factors likely to determine their suitability for storage and processing. The mechanical properties of whole seeds depend mainly on their coat composition. This study investigates variations in seed strength and colour between different‐sized rapeseeds. The paper also presents an explanation of
