Dormancy as exaptation to protect mimetic seeds against deterioration before dispersal
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2010)
Mimetic seeds simulate the appearance of fleshy fruits and arilled seeds without producing nutritive tissues as a reward for seed dispersers. In this strategy of seed dispersal, seeds may remain attached to the mother plant ...
Seed morphology and post-seminal development in Leiothrix Ruhland (Eriocaulaceae, Poales)
(2021-03-01)
The genus Leiothrix (Eriocaulaceae) is restricted to South America, where most species occur in the Espinhaço mountain chain in Brazil. Seed ornamentation has a distinctive origin in the family and in most species of ...
Seed Water Concentration and Accumulation of Protein and Oil in Soybean Seeds
(Crop Science Society of America, 2014-11)
Seed development is partitioned into a ‘lag’ phase, a ‘seed filling’ phase, and a ‘maturation’ phase. Transitions between phases correspond to seed water concentration (WC) values that are fairly consistent within species. ...
Imbibition of Swietenia macrophylla (Meliaceae) seeds: the role of stomata
(Oxford University Press, 2006-07-01)
Background and Aims the occurrence of stomata in seed coats is uncommon and there is limited information about their function(s). The aim of this study was to verify the distribution of stomata in seed coats of Swietenia ...

Seed deposition patterns and the survival of seeds and seedlings of the palm Euterpe edulis
(Elsevier B.V., 2001-07-01)
The seed deposition pattern created by a seed disperser is one of the components of the efficiency of a species as seed disperser, and ultimately may influence the recruitment of a plant species. In this study, we used the ...

The development of seedlings from fragments of monoembryonic seeds as an important survival strategy for Eugenia (Myrtaceae) tree species
(Springer, 2012-06-01)
The uncommon ability of monoembryonic seeds of Eugenia to develop seedlings after cutting or even after the removal of more than half of their storage tissue has recently been reported. Some Eugenia species are included ...
