Seed Production and Germinability of Cucurbit Crops
Cucurbit crops are mostly produced for their immature or mature fruits. However, a relatively high proportion of cucurbit fields are destined for seed production, either for seed consumption or for propagation material. Production of cucurbits for seed consumption (as a snack food) is very popular in some parts of the globe and almost unknown in others. Open-pollinated cultivars (inexpensive se...
متن کاملMaternal control of seed development.
Maternal control of higher plant seed development is likely to involve female sporophytic as well as female gametophytic genes. While numerous female sporophytic mutants control the production of the ovule and the embryo sac true maternal effect mutations affecting embryo and endosperm development are rare in plants. A new class of female gametophytic mutants has been isolated that controls aut...
متن کاملSeed Production Affects Maternal Growth and Senescence in Arabidopsis.
Correlative control (influence of one organ over another organ) of seeds over maternal growth is one of the most obvious phenotypic expressions of the trade-off between growth and reproduction. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we characterize the physiological and molecular effects of correlative inhibition by seeds on Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) in...

germinated within 24 hours after prior exposure either to blue light or when maintained under complete darkness. However, far-red light augmented the germination of seeds pretreated with 6-benzylaminopurine so that nearly all such seeds germinated within 24 hours after treatment (table II). Far-red light also augmented the rate of germination of seed pretreated with a synergistic mixture of 6-b...
متن کاملIntrapopulation variation in Abutilon theophrasti seed mass and its relationship to seed germinability
The relationship between seed mass variation and germinability in ten Abutilon theophrasti Medic. plants from a single agricultural population was examined under controlled environmental conditions. Seeds were collected in the autumn of 1995 and dry-stored in paper bags at 4°C until the start of trials in the spring of 1998. For each plant, between 549 and 1000 randomly selected seeds were sepa...
