Determination of pore size distribution in soybean seed coats by mercury porosimetry

open access: yes, 1999
In this work we applied mercury porosimetry for the investigation of soybean seed coats. By using this method it was possible to determine the pore size distribution and also the pore size dispersion that is present in seed coats. The results showed that

Ubiquitin-mediated control of seed size in plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Seed size in higher plants is an important agronomic trait, and is also crucial for evolutionary fitness. In flowering plants, the seed comprises three major anatomical components, the embryo, the en-dosperm and the seed coat, each with different genetic

Influence of growing conditions and seed of different qualities on yielding capacity and protein content in winter wheat grain

open access: yesAgrology, 2020
The actuality of the research is determined by the solution of an important problem – the increase of the protein content in the grain of winter wheat on the basis of ecological difference of seeds quality and the conditions in which it was formed.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the GW2-Like Genes in Gossypium and Functional Characterization of the Seed Size Effect of GhGW2-2D

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Cotton is one of the most economically important crops worldwide. Seed size is a vital trait for plants connected with yield and germination. GW2 encodes a RING_Ubox E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls seed development by affecting cell growth.

Relationship between seed harvesting method and seed physiological quality for a number of Pioneer maize hybrids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The seed germination and seed vigor of eight Pioneer Hi-Bred maize hybrids were evaluated immediately after harvesting and a year later. The aim was to determine whether the seed showed loss of germination and vigor when shelled mechanically.

Parent-of-Origin Effects on Seed Size Modify Heterosis Responses in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Parent-of-origin effects arise when a phenotype depends on whether it is inherited maternally or paternally. Parent-of-origin effects can exert a strong influence on F1 seed size in flowering plants, an important agronomic and life-history trait that can
