the structure formed in the fertilized ovule of an ANGIOSPERM, consisting of an embryo surrounded by a food store for nourishment during germination, with an outer hard seed coat, the TESTA. The food store can be located either in a special area called the ENDOSPERM with an outer ALEURONE lay...
However, although the onset of cellularization coincides with the end of coenocytical endosperm proliferation, inhibition of seed coat growth actually precedes it18, meaning that these two processes can be unlinked. Plant organ growth is dependent on two main processes: cell division and cell ...
In addition, the microbiome plays a crucial role in plant growth and development, nutrient uptake, and protection against biotic stress. Arguably, plants are holobionts meaning that a community of microbes coevolves with their host contributing to host phenology and fitness [38]. Therefore, ...
2020). The seeds ofB. napusare mainly composed of two parts, embryo and seed coat [1]. Though oil and protein are concentrated in the embryo, seed coat plays crucial roles in many biological processes such as signal transmission, nutrition transportation...
The seed coat, or testa, is derived from the one or two protective integuments of the ovule. The ovary, in the simplest case, develops into a fruit. In many plants, such as grasses and lettuce, the outer integument and ovary wall are completely fused, so seed and fruit form one ...
MYB transcription factors are splay a vital role in plant biology, with previous research highlighting the significant impact of the R2R3-MYB-like transcription factor MYB5 on seed mucilage biosynthesis, trichome branching, and seed coat development. How
Analysis by DNA blot hybridization showed that this is a single or low copy gene in the soybean genome. The chitinase is expressed late in seed development, with particularly high expression in the seed coat. Expression was also evident in the late stages of development of the pod, root, ...
Modern seed coating technology refers to a reliable and efficient technique to apply external materials to cover the natural seed coat, resulting in forming a thinner or thicker layer on the surface. The aims of modern seed coating include achievement in uniform seed dimensions, improvement in seed...
seed size;Novel Seed Size(NSS);seed coat;flavonoids;T-DNA mutant 1. Introduction Soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merr.) is one of the most important multiuse crops, providing plant proteins and edible oils for humans and animals [1]. With the continuous growth in the population, the global deman...
Once the seed coat breaks open, the first root grows, called the radicle. In almost all plants, the root comes before the shoot. Once the root starts to grow, it can now absorb water and nutrients from the soil, instead of getting it from the seed coat. ...
