The formation of the seed is part of the process of reproduction in seed plants, starting with a mature ovule and following with the fertilization by pollen and some growth within the mother plant to the final outcome of an embryo developed from the zygote, the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule, and a nurturing endosperm in several species. Thanks to this key element as it is the seed, the spermatophytes now dominate all types of biological niches on land, from forests to grasslands, both in hot and cold climates. In this metadata information era, we have the chance for a deeper understanding of seed physiological and developmental processes in order to provide the fundamental basis for making plant (seed) biology research relevant and productive,coping with future challenges. 606 $aSeeds$xDevelopment 610 $aLife Sciences 610 $aSeed Technology 610 $aFood Science 610 $aAgricultural and Biological Sciences 615 0$aSeeds$xDevelopment. 676 $a581.467 700 $aJose C.
