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: 10.1093/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.
