OLIVE SEED SET AND ITS IMPACT ON SEED AND FRUIT WEIGHT

Acta Horticulturae, 2002
Pistillate olive flowers bear at anthesis four viable equally sized ovules. In spite of that, olive fruit is typically a one-seeded drupe. Preliminary observations, however, disclosed that some cultivars sometimes form fruits containing two seeds. In this study we compared seed set on five olive cultivars and we found maternal (cultivar) and paternal ...

Seed coat color and seed weight contribute differential responses of targeted metabolites in soybean seeds

Food Chemistry, 2017
The distribution and variation of targeted metabolites in soybean seeds are affected by genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we used 192 soybean germplasm accessions collected from two provinces of Korea to elucidate the effects of seed coat color and seeds dry weight on the metabolic variation and responses of targeted metabolites.

Inheritance of Primary:Secondary Seed Weight Ratios and Secondary Seed Weight in Oats

1986
A low primary isecondary seed weight ratio in oats is desirable in that it reflects uniformity of seed size. Combined with high grain weights, this has advantages for all aspects of the oat industry. The potential for improving the ratio can be investigated using segregation patterns and sub-division of hereditary variance, both being useful tools for ...

Seed abortion and the individual weight of castor seed (Ricinus communis L.) [PDF]

Industrial Crops and Products, 2013
The weight of each individual seed plays an important but often neglected role in the determination of castor (Ricinus communis L.) seed yield. Studies were made under field and greenhouse conditions to assess how seed abortion and the weight of individual castor seeds are influenced by: (i) water availability, (ii) position in the raceme, (iii ...

MATERNAL INHERITANCE OF SEED WEIGHT IN FLAX

Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1965
Introduction Investigations of the inheritance of seed weight in flax by Jeswani and Murty (1963) and by Comstoclt (1960), indicated that this character was quantitatively inherited, with partial dominance for large seed. Similar studies of the seed size or weight in rice by Chandraratna and Saltal (1960) and Saltal et al.

Effect of seed weight on lettuce growth

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1970
SummaryUnder uniform conditions, and in the absence of inter-plant competition, a linear relationship was found to exist between the fresh weight of the plant tops at harvest and the weight of the seed sown.

Genetic and Environmental Effects on Seed Weight and Seed Yield in Switchgrass

Crop Science, 2003
A positive correlation exists between seed weight and seedling vigor. The objective of this study was to determine genetic and environmental effects on seed weight and seed yield within two switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) cultivars. Thirty half‐sib families of ‘Sunburst’ (large seeded) and ‘Summer’ (small seeded) were evaluated for 3 yr in Kentucky ...

Changing of seed amount and 1000 seeds weight by years, their impact on seed yield of sunflower varieties

Oil Crops, 2023
The variability of economically useful traits (1000 seeds weight and seed number per head) in varieties of the Saratov breeding was studied in 2010–2019. The correlation between traits the seed number and yield, the 1000 seeds weight and yield was determined.

Seed-specific silencing of OsMRP5 reduces seed phytic acid and weight in rice

Transgenic Research, 2014
Phytic acid (PA) is poorly digested by humans and monogastric animals and negatively affects human/animal nutrition and the environment. Rice mutants with reduced PA content have been developed but are often associated with reduced seed weight and viability, lacking breeding value.
