The effect of seed size on seed fate in a subtropical forest, southwest of China
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016 Scatter-hoarding rodents acting both as seed predators and dispersers usually play an important role in seed dispersal of many plant species. Seed size is thought to essentially affect rodent scatter-hoarding processes.

Crop size influences pre-dispersal seed predation in the Brazilian Cerrado
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2017 Many pre-dispersal seed predators are specialized insects that rely on seeds for larval development. These insects may respond to the amount of seeds produced by a plant (i.e.

Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as predators of conifer seeds
Folia Oecologica, 2019 Many species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are important predators of seeds. While the consumption of herb seeds has been intensively studied, little attention has been paid to the consumption of seeds of gymnosperm plants.

Soybean seed germination and initial seedling growth as affected by seed size [PDF]
Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2013 Soybean seed size can have a major effect on the quality of seeds. Beside the effect that seed size has on 1000-grain weight, it can also affect other seed quality parameters. Some authors suggest it can be expected that larger seeds have better quality.

Rapid analysis of seed size in
Plant Methods, 2011 Background Arabidopsis thaliana is a useful model organism for deciphering the genetic determinants of seed size; however the small size of its seeds makes measurements difficult. Bulk seed weights are often used as an indicator of average seed size, but

Construction of a genetic map and QTL mapping of seed size traits in soybean
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Soybean seed size and seed shape traits are closely related to plant yield and appearance quality. In this study, 186 individual plants of the F2 generation derived from crosses between Changjiang Chun 2 and JiYu 166 were selected as the mapping ...
