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.

Seed shape and size of Silene latifolia, differences between sexes, and influence of the parental genome in hybrids with Silene dioica [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionPlants undergo various natural changes that dramatically modify their genomes. One is polyploidization and the second is hybridization. Both are regarded as key factors in plant evolution and result in phenotypic differences in different ...

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

Phenotypic and genetic dissection of seed shape related traits in soybean (Glycine max L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionSeed shape and hundred-seed weight (HSW) are yield-related traits, but the interrelationships between them and a systematic genetic analysis are lacking.MethodsIn this study, phenotypic evaluation of seed shape-related traits and HSW was ...

An Angiosperm Species Dataset Reveals Relationships between Seed Size and Two-Dimensional Shape
Horticulturae, 2019 Datasets containing information on seed size have been published and are currently available. Nevertheless, there is a lack in the literature of a dataset dedicated to seed shape. We present a preliminary version for a dataset on seed morphology based on
