Seed shape

Caesalpinia bonduc L. is a flowering plant belonging to Caesalpinia in the Caesalpiniaceae family. “Bonducella” the name of the species is derived from the Arabic word “Bonduce” meaning a “little ball” which indicates the globular shape of the seed.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) can accumulate over 60% oil in its seed. However, low oil content genotypes with an oil content of less than 50% are also observed. To gain insights into how genes shape this variation, we examined 22 seed and carpel transcriptomes from 3 varieties of sesame with high and low oil content.

In this study, ZnO nanorods decorated with gold (Au) nanoparticles with the desired size parameters were fabricated using a simple, low-cost, and highly efficient method. The ZnO nanorod structure was fabricated using a hydrothermal method on a ZnO seed layer with hydrothermal solution concentrations varying from 20 mM to 90 mM.

Aethionema aytachii Ertuğrul & Hamzaoğlu, a new species from central Anatolia that grows on marly hills in the Ayaş district of Ankara Province (Turkey), is described and its relationships and distinguishing characters from the closest relative A. dumanii are discussed. The shape of pollen grains of A. aytachii is tricolpate, and its seed-coat sculpture is verrucate. Sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of the new species was used to determine about its phylogenetic relation within Aethionema.

Macro- and micromorphological features of fruit and seeds belonging to 12 taxa genera of Matthiola W.T.Aiton were studied via stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope. In macromorphological studies, the following variables were investigated: the shape, size, and color of fruit and seeds; the length of fruiting pedicel; the structure of the median vein; stigma (horns); and trichome properties and density in fruit. In micromorphological studies, the presence or absence of seed wings, seed coat pattern in disc and wing, and epidermal cell shape in disc and wing were determined.

Micromorphological characteristics of 13 Trifolium species, which are grown in the province of Bolu, were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The morphological characteristics determined from the study were subjected to morphometric analyses and their variation spectrums were defined. Tricolporate pollen grains showed two pollen shapes, prolate and subprolate, according to equatorial view. The smallest size of polar axis length (18.00 μm) was found in T. micranthum Viv. from section Chronosemium Ser.; the largest (88.95 μm) was found in T. hirtum All.

Characteristic features of seed and testa cells in 13 species of Allium, representing its five recognized sections, Compactoprason, Megaloprason, Procerallium, Decipientia and Pseudoprason were studied using both stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope. The identified characters, such as seed shape, alignment and shape of testa cells, features of outer cell walls, verruca type, density of verrucae and granules, seed size as well as cell wall undulations were evaluated statistically. The our findings indicated the significance level of P ≤ 0.

In the present study, cytoplasmic male sterility derived from A2 cytoplasm of pigeonpea was combined with four leaf type agronomic backgrounds by using backcrossing programme These four leaf shapes were recessive in the expression against lanceolatus leaf shape. These naked eye polymorphic (NEP) markers will be useful for maintaining purity of hybrid seeds if coupled with cytoplasmic male sterility hence present investigation was conducted.

The intervention of engineering properties of the seeds has an important role in design of pneumatic seeder for seeding in plug trays. The present study was carried out to find different physical properties like seed size (length and width), shape, thousand seed weight, bulk density and terminal velocity (aerodynamic property) of cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) seeds at moisture content of 8.24%(wb) and 9.71%(wb), respectively.

Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the most versatile emerging cereal crops having wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Pre and post harvesting operations are the most labour intensive operations that are presently done manually in India and need to be mechanized. The physical properties of seeds play an important role for designing seed metering device.

Thirty interspecific crosses (including reciprocals) involving three genotypes/varieties of greengram (Vigna radiate (L) Wilczek) cv. HUM 1 HUM 2 & HUM 8 and five genotypes/varieties of blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) cv. T 9, Pant U 19, PDU 1, BHUU 1 & BHUU 91-346-1 were attempted. Nine out of 30 crosses were successful only when greengram was used as seed parents. The crossability ranged from 0.0 to 61.0 per cent. Germination, survival and pod bearing habit of the F1s hybrids were much better in Kharif season as compared to spring/summer season.

Spermatogonial Stem Cells (SSCs) are unipotent adult stem cells, defined as the undifferentiated stem cells located along the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubules. This present study is aimed to carry out the culture and characterization of SSCs in pre-pubertal age group of mice. Isolation of SSCs was done by two-step enzymatic digestion method and was seeded in a six-well plate. In primary culture (P0), colony forming unit was observed on day four post incubation. Mice Spermatogonial Stem Cells (mSSCs) adherence was observed on day eight post incubation.

An image analysis technique is well suited for the collection of data concerning the shape and size of the seeds. Such morphological data is often used for establishing the distinctness of new varieties. Seed morphometric characters like seed length, breadth, length to breadth ratio (seed shape) and thousand seed weight were determined for hundred rice genotypes by using Biovis image analyser.
