MOLECULAR PHYSIOLOGY OF LEGUME SEED DEVELOPMENT
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2005Legume seed development is characterized by progressive differentiation of organs and tissues resulting in developmental gradients A developmental gradient results from the gradual differentiation of different organs or within a single-seed organ and is reflected by heterogeneous populations of cells of different physiological age accumulating ...

Seed physiology: From ovule to maturing seed
The Botanical Review, 19841) The future of the seed is partly predetermined by events (flower formation, flowering, nutrient flow from mother plant, etc.) preceding fertilization and the formation of the gametophyte. 2) The environmental conditions under which the seed matures affect its final physiological constitution.

Physiological Mechanisms Involved in Seed Priming
1989The high degree of mechanisation in modern plant cultivation systems demands fast, uniform and complete germination. However, this agricultural demand is the extreme opposite of the evolutionary adaptations which wild species have made to ensure success in their natural environment.

Outlook on Agriculture, 1985
The ageing of seeds is a matter of considerable practical significance as it initially results in reduced vigour and eventually in a fall in germination. This article reviews the physiological factors involved and methods by which the potential of seed lots can be reliably determined.

Seed physiological maturity in Cuphea
Industrial Crops and Products, 2007Abstract Cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. × C. lanceolata f. silenoides W.T. Aiton, line PSR23) is a new crop being developed in the North Central United States, as an industrial oilseed crop. Cuphea PSR23 seed oil is rich in medium-chain-length fatty acids such as capric acid used to manufacture soaps and detergents.

Physiology of seed germination
1965It is a characteristic feature of the life cycle of many organisms that at one stage a spore or seed is formed which can persist in a viable state through prolonged periods without further development. When appropriate conditions are available the spore or seed is reanimated and from it a fully active, metabolising organism is established.
