Flowering Periods, Seed Yield Components, Seed Quality, and Patterns of Seed Shattering in Paspalum: Effect of Taxonomy and Nitrogen Fertilization [PDF]
PlantsPerennial warm-season grasses typically have reduced seed yield, making it essential to identify the critical seed yield components. An induced increase in nitrogen could help determine which components are most limiting.

Into the Seed: Auxin Controls Seed Development and Grain Yield [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Seed development, which involves mainly the embryo, endosperm and integuments, is regulated by different signaling pathways, leading to various changes in seed size or seed weight. Therefore, uncovering the genetic and molecular mechanisms of seed development has great potential for improving crop yields.

Seed potato quality improvement through positive selection by smallholder farmers in Kenya [PDF]
, 2011 In Kenya, seed potato quality is often a major yield constraint in potato production as smallholder farmers use farm-saved seed without proper management of seed-borne pests and diseases. Farm-saved seed is therefore often highly degenerated.
