Factors that shape seed mass evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 We used correlated divergence analysis to determine which factors have been most closely associated with changes in seed mass during seed plant evolution. We found that divergences in seed mass have been more consistently associated with divergences in growth form than with divergences in any other variable.

The relationship between shape and size of diaspores depends on being seeds or fruits [PDF]
, 2019 The relationship between the size and shape of diaspores was investigated in angiosperms and gymnosperms including determining if being a seed or fruit was a factor. Size was expressed as volume and shape as the departure from a perfect idealized sphere.

Seed Architecture Shapes Embryo Metabolism in Oilseed Rape [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2013 Abstract Constrained to develop within the seed, the plant embryo must adapt its shape and size to fit the space available. Here, we demonstrate how this adjustment shapes metabolism of photosynthetic embryo. Noninvasive NMR-based imaging of the developing oilseed rape (Brassica napus) seed illustrates that, following embryo bending ...

Seed Morphology in Silene Based on Geometric Models
Plants, 2020 Seed description in morphology is often based on adjectives such as “spherical”, “globular”, or “reniform”, but this does not provide a quantitative method.
