Selecting Increased Seed Density to Increase Indirectly Soybean Seed Protein Concentration

Crop Science, 2002
Because soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the world's most important source of high quality vegetable protein, development of high yielding genotypes with increased seed protein concentration is a major soybean breeding objective. A major impediment to this objective is the often observed negative correlation between yield and protein.

Population ecology of wild sunflowers: effects of seed density and post-dispersal vertebrate seed predators

Oecologia, 2017
Assessing the effects of seed density on the population dynamics of wild plant species with crop relatives will be vital in determining the potential effects of introducing traits into wild populations as a result of crop-to-wild gene flow. We examined experimental sunflower (Helianthus annuus) patches in eastern Kansas to determine the effects of seed

Seed size–seed number trade‐offs: influence of seed size on the density of fire‐stimulated persistent soil seed banks

American Journal of Botany, 2022
AbstractPremiseDoes the seed size–seed number allocation trade‐off model apply to long‐term persistent soil seed banks? This trade‐off between seed size versus number of seeds produced is usually applied at a single population on an annual basis. Our question is how this model might apply to close relatives that produce dormant seed forming long‐term ...

Optimizing seed rate and stem density for seed potato production

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1985
Previous investigations (e.g. Bates, 1935; Singh, 1952; Bremner & Taha, 1966; Sharpe & Dent, 1968) established that increase in the size of potato seed planted and decrease in inter-sett spaoing increased the number of stems and of tubers, resulting in yield advantage generally, but reduced tuber size in the produce.

SEED PREDATION AND SELECTION EXERTED BY A SEED PREDATOR INFLUENCE SUBALPINE TREE DENSITIES

Ecology, 2008
Strongly interacting species often have pronounced direct and indirect effects on other species. Here we focus of the effects of pine squirrels (Tamiasciurus spp.), which are a dominant pre-dispersal seed predator of many conifers including limber pines (Pinus flexilis) and whitebark pines (P. albicaulis).

Seed density affects post‐dispersal seed predation: evidence from a seed removal experiment of 62 species

Integrative Zoology, 2020
AbstractPost‐dispersal seed predation plays an important role in plant demography and biodiversity maintenance. However, the effects of seed density on seed predation from previous studies have been inconsistent. We dissected the effects of density on the 2‐step processes of seed predation using 101 520 seeds from 62 plant species in an alpine pine ...

Densities of melon seeds, kernels and hulls

Journal of Food Engineering, 1989
Abstract True density, bulk density and apparent density of the seeds, kernels and hulls of commercial varieties of muskmelon, longmelon and watermelon were determined. There is a significant difference between the apparent densities of kernels and of seeds.

Crystallization induced by multiple seeds: Dynamical density functional approach

Physical Review E, 2013
Using microscopic dynamical density functional theory, we calculate the dynamical formation of polycrystals by following the crystal growth around multiple crystalline seeds imposed to an undercooled fluid. Depending on the undercooling and the size ratio as well as the relative crystal orientation of two neighboring seeds, three possibilities of the ...
