This remarkable site was created by Professor Gerhard Leubner and his
colleagues at the University of Freiburg in Germany. Here, visitors can
take advantage of a veritable cornucopia of reference materials related
to seed biology, such as diagrams and illustrations of seed germination,
plant hormones, endosperm weakening, and seed dormancy. Neophytes may
wish to start by looking at the Seed Structure and Anatomy area, which
features a concise and well-written overview of the structure, anatomy,
and morphology of mature seeds. The same section contains information on
the seed structure of the castor bean and other legumes. Another
fascinating section on the site is dedicated to Seed Evolution. Visitors
can discover a wealth of information here, including such topics as the
evolutionary trends of angiosperm seeds and the seed ferns of the Late
Permian period.
