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 ...

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

Selection of soybean mutant lines with altered seed coat colour and their antioxidant activity
Plant Breeding, 2015AbstractIn this study, the flavonoid and isoflavone contents in four checks with seed coat colour altered from yellow to black were determined, and their antioxidant activity was measured. Three anthocyanins (delphinidin‐3‐O‐β‐D‐glucoside, D3G; cyanidin‐3‐O‐β‐D‐glucoside, C3G; and petunidin‐3‐O‐β‐D‐glucoside, Pt3G) were detected in the four checks ...

Effect of the seed coat colour on water uptake rate, seed germination and sprouting of common bean
2021Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most widespread legume in Croatia and the production is based on landraces of great morphological diversity. Cultivars morphologically differ most in the seed coat colour, which affects water uptake, seed germination and sprouting.

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.

Effects of seed coat colour on seed characteristics of honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos)
Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos) seeds have hard seed coats of different colours that affect duration of dormancy. This study investigated the effects of seed coat colour on water uptake, germination, and quantity of seed parts. The results show that seed coat colour had a significant effect on seed moisture content, seed coat weight, endosperm ...Ertekin, Murat +2 more

Inheritance of siliqua orientation and seed coat colour in Brassica tournefortii
Plant Breeding, 2008AbstractThe inheritance of siliqua orientation and seed coat colour in Brassica tournefortii was investigated using four genotypes varying in these two characters. The F1, F2 and backcross generations of two crosses were used for studying the segregation pattern of the traits.
