The 79 pages that link to Seed, each with the reason it gives.

• Seed dispersalNarrower topic: The seed is the unit that dispersal moves away from its parent.

• ConiferNarrower topic: Conifer seeds develop on cone scales rather than inside fruits.

• FruitRelated: Seeds mature within fruits and are central to their reproductive function.

• GymnospermNarrower topic: Gymnosperms reproduce through seeds that develop without enclosure in an ovary.

• Seed bankNarrower topic: Seed banks preserve this reproductive structure in a form that can remain viable.

• PollenCompared with: Pollen carries the male gametophyte; a seed contains the developing next plant.

• Vegetative reproductionCompared with: Seeds usually arise from sexual reproduction, whereas vegetative offspring develop from existing plant organs.

• Plant propagationBroader topic: Seeds develop after fertilization and begin new plants when conditions permit.

• SporeCompared with: Seeds contain embryos and reserves; spores are usually single cells without those structures.

• BerryRelated: Berries enclose seeds within their fleshy fruit wall.

• Flowering plantRelated: A fertilized ovule develops into the seed enclosed by the fruit.

• LegumeRelated: Seeds develop inside the legume fruit and are dispersed when it opens.

• Sexual reproductionBroader topic: In flowering plants, seeds carry the products of sexual reproduction into the next generation.

• Seed germinationNarrower topic: Germination is the developmental transition from this packaged, often dormant structure.

• OvuleNarrower topic: After fertilization, the ovule’s tissues and contents develop into a seed.

• DrupeRelated: The hard endocarp surrounds the seed in a typical drupe.

• Seed plantBroader topic: The seed is the defining reproductive structure of this plant group.

• EndospermNarrower topic: Endosperm is one of the tissues that can provision the embryo within a seed.

• FrugivoreRelated: Seeds are the structures fruit eaters may disperse or destroy.

• GerminationNarrower topic: Seed germination is one form of germination, and the seed’s parts shape its early growth.

• Annual plantRelated: Seeds carry annuals through the interval between one growing season and the next.

• Seed coneBroader topic: Each fertilized ovule on a cone scale can develop into a seed.

• Seed coatNarrower topic: The coat is one of the seed’s principal structural components.

• Conifer coneRelated: Fertilized ovules develop into seeds that mature on seed cones.

• AcheneRelated: An achene contains one seed, attached to its wall at one point.

• AcornNarrower topic: The acorn’s seed contains the embryo of a potential oak.

• Fungal sporeCompared with: Seeds contain multicellular embryos and reserves; fungal spores are generally simpler units.

• CarpelRelated: Fertilized ovules within the carpel develop into seeds.

• StrobilusCompared with: Unlike a strobilus, a seed develops after fertilization and contains an embryo.

• Pine coneBroader topic: Fertilized ovules on female cone scales mature into seeds.

• UlmaceaeNarrower topic: Each elm samara carries a seed that can germinate after dispersal.

• Fertilization in plantsNarrower topic: It is the mature structure arising from post-fertilization development of the ovule.

• Plant life cycleRelated: In seed plants, it protects the embryo and enables dispersal before growth resumes.

• Wind dispersalNarrower topic: Many wind-dispersed propagules are seeds, though fruits can travel with them.

• Garage rockBroader topic: Their organ-led, repetitive songs brought a distinctive California variation to the style.

• Nut (fruit)Related: A true nut encloses one seed, even when that seed is not fused to the wall.

• PeaNarrower topic: The mature pea seed is the crop’s principal harvested food.

• Cucurbita pepoRelated: Fertilized ovules inside squash fruits mature into seeds.

• EmbryophyteRelated: Seeds protect and provision an embryo during dispersal and early development.

• House sparrowRelated: Seeds form a major part of the house sparrow’s diet.

• MyrmecochoryNarrower topic: Myrmecochory concerns the movement of seeds rather than pollen or fruits.

• ArilNarrower topic: An aril is an appendage of this structure, rather than the seed embryo itself.

• FinchRelated: Seeds are the principal food associated with the finch's stout bill.

• SeedlingNarrower topic: A seed contains the embryo that develops into a seedling.

• SporulationCompared with: Seeds share dispersal and dormancy with spores but contain a multicellular embryo.

• GermplasmBroader topic: Seeds are a widely used, storable form of plant germplasm.

• Pine nutNarrower topic: A pine nut is a seed, though most harvested kernels are eaten rather than planted.

• AsparagalesRelated: Seed-coat features provide one line of evidence for grouping plants in this order.

• Adzuki beanRelated: The edible adzuki bean is the crop’s mature seed.

• ChivesRelated: Chives can be propagated from seeds as well as by dividing established clumps.
