Identification of ST1 reveals a selection involving hitchhiking of seed morphology and oil content during soybean domestication. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2022 Summary Seed morphology and quality of cultivated soybean (Glycine max) have changed dramatically during domestication from their wild relatives, but their relationship to selection is poorly understood. Here, we describe a semi‐dominant locus, ST1 (Seed

Effects of seed morphology and orientation on secondary seed dispersal by wind
Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022 Understanding how diaspore (hereafter “seed”) morphology and orientation affect secondary seed dispersal by wind is important to link seed dispersal and post-dispersal processes, such as seed lodging, predation and germination.
