Special Issue on Seed Science

A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering. The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants, the spermatophytes, including the gymnosperm and angiosperm plants.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring seed science. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Seed development
• Seed structure
• Embryo nourishment
• Seed dispersal
• Seed dormancy
• Seedling and germination
• Economic importance

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Seed Science” should be selected during your submission.
