recommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Botany"

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16070

Abstract: Abstract Premise Variation in seed and seedling traits underlies how plants interact with their environment during establishment, a crucial life history stage. We quantified genetic‐based variation in seed and seedling traits in populations of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1825

Abstract: PREMISE Does the seed size-seed number allocation trade-off model apply to long-term persistent soil seed banks? This trade-off between seed size versus number of seeds produced is usually applied at a single population on an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11740

Abstract: Rodent–seed interactions are influenced strongly by seed traits. Seeds in natural systems rarely exist in isolation; they aggregate into spatially discrete patches with distinct trait distributions, where individual seed fate depends on both its own… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00425-024-04499-8

Abstract: Our data link the miR165/166- and miR160-mediated regulatory modules to ROS and seed formation. Trade-offs of seed size, weight, and number probably require control of the expression of miR165/166 by miR160, modulation of ROS metabolism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04356-6

Abstract: Elevational gradients are a powerful tool to investigate how abiotic factors affect ecosystems and to predict the possible consequences of climate change. Here, we investigated the assemblage-level responses of seed size, ant worker size, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10681-021-02885-x

Abstract: Grain yield and seed size are key breeding objectives for the chickpea breeding program in Morocco. Six winter-type chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties released between 1992 and 2015, and two candidate lines, were evaluated under… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2022.110306

Abstract: Melon is a popular fruit vegetable crop worldwide with diverse morphological variation. We report a high-density genetic map of melon and nine major QTLs with physical region ranging from 43.47 kb to 1.89 Mb. Importantly, two seed-related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51798-5

Abstract: Seed size/weight plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet only few genes controlling seed size have been characterized in soybean. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study and identify a major quantitative trait… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhab074

Abstract: Abstract Watermelons used for seed consumption tend to have larger seeds, whereas watermelons used for flesh consumption often require relatively small seeds. Therefore, watermelon seed size has received extensive attention from consumers and breeders. However,… read more here.
