Geometric Models for Seed Shape Description and Quantification in the Cactaceae [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Seed shape in species of the Cactaceae is described by comparison with geometric models. Three new groups of models are presented, two for symmetric seeds, and a third group for asymmetric seeds.

New Techniques for Seed Shape Description in Silene Species [PDF]
Taxonomy, 2021 Seed shape in Silene species is often described by means of adjectives such as reniform, globose, and orbicular, but the application of seed shape for species classification requires quantification. A method for the description and quantification of seed
