The colouring matter of the tamarind seed testa

Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A, 1948
The tamarind seed testa contains about 32 per cent. of tannins of which 35 per cent. is phlobatannin, the rest being mostly catechol tannin. The phlobatannin yields almost colourless methyl and acetyl derivatives which exhibit marked optical activity, supporting the idea that phlobatannins are probably hydroxy flavan derivatives.

Effect of seed size and testa colour on saponin content of Spanish lentil seed

Food Chemistry, 1997
Twenty cultivars of Lens culinaris Medik. were grown over 5 years in 18 provinces of Spain. Saponin content in the harvested seed ranged from 654 to 1269 mg kg−1. Two saponins were detected and identified as soyasaponins I and VI. Changes observed in the saponin content were found to be dependent on both seed size and testa colour.

The colour of Pinus silvestris L. seeds and their susceptibility to damping‐off. II. Colour of seed coats and their chemical composition

European Journal of Forest Pathology, 1980
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 ...

Effect of Seed Coat Colour on the Seed Quality of Water Melon (Citrullus Lanatus)

Africa Journal of Technical and Vocational Education and Training, 2018
Water 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.

Inheritance of Seed-coat colour in Gram (Cicer arietinum)

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1950
It 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.

Relationship between seed coat colour and seed vigour in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp (L.)

Journal of Food Legumes
In 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.
