The transmission of solutes from phloem through seedcoats, and the processing of imported metabolites by seed coat cells prior to secretion are two important aspects of the seedcoats' nutritive function considered in this review. Some of the many important questions that remain unanswered have been posed, and scope for further research indicated. Citing Literature Volume74, Issue7July 1987Pages 1122-1137 RelatedInformation
