When Size Matters: New Insights on How Seed Size Can …
Conversely, smaller seeds germinated slightly earlier but displayed lower growth features. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the physiological impacts of seed size on plant development, providing valuable insights for agricultural practices, especially in optimizing the cultivation and regeneration of this species .
Review on Effect of Seed Size on Seedling Vigour and Seed Yield
Seed size is an important physical indicator of seed quality that affects vegetative growth and is frequently related to yield, market grade factors and harvest efficiency. Genetic variation is the cause for variation in size of seed between varieties. Based on size, the seeds are classified as very large, large, medium, small and very small.
Plant growth rates and seed size: a re-evaluation
2012年6月1日 · The results presented here call for a re-evaluation of the links between seed and seedling traits, plant size and growth rates, which could lead to a significant shift in our understanding of how seed mass and growth rates have …
When Size Matters: New Insights on How Seed Size Can
2024年6月28日 · This review addresses a number of open questions related to cues that influence seed growth and size and how they influence seed germination. Moreover, new insights on the genetic-molecular control of this adaptive trait are presented.
(PDF) When Size Matters: New Insights on How Seed Size Can …
2024年6月28日 · Given that crop seeds constitute one of the primary products for consumption, it follows that seed size represents a fundamental determinant of crop yield. This adaptative feature is strictly...
How seeds and growth dynamics influence plant size and yield ...
2022年8月5日 · Here we show that seed mass and duration of vegetative growth are the main drivers of variation in mature plant size. Our results therefore provide a better mechanistic understanding of the plant size–seed size axis of plant trait variation and also highlight the role of vegetative growth duration in varying mature plant size.
Seed size and plant strategy across the whole life cycle
2006年2月17日 · We compiled information from the international literature to quantify the relationships between seed mass and survival through each of the hazards plants face between seed production and maturity. We found that small-seeded species were more abundant in the seed rain than large-seeded species.
Plant growth rates and seed size: a re-evaluation - PubMed
Small-seeded plant species are often reported to have high relative growth rate or RGR. However, because RGR declines as plants grow larger, small-seeded species could achieve higher RGR simply by virtue of their small size. In contrast, size-standardized growth rate …
Molecular Network for Regulation of Seed Size in Plants - MDPI
2023年6月26日 · There are several pathways for regulating plant seed size, including the HAIKU (IKU) pathway, ubiquitin–proteasome pathway, G (Guanosine triphosphate) protein regulatory pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, transcriptional regulators pathway, and phytohormone regulatory pathways including the auxin, brassinosteroid (BR ...
How seeds and growth dynamics influence plant size and yield ...
2022年8月5日 · For each plant, we measured seed mass, growth rate and duration of vegetative growth. We also measured plant size at three ontogenetic stages: seedling, juvenile and mature, and reproductive output. Using path analyses, we tested causal relationships between the traits and quantified their relative importance in determining mature plant size ...
