Heterogeneity in seed traits: an overlooked breeding opportunity.

Abstract excerpt

Uniformity among seeds within a cultivar impacts seed quality and milling efficiency. Advances in hyperspectral imaging enable quantification of variability among individual seeds, facilitating treatment of seed heterogeneity as a heritable trait. We argue seed trait heterogeneity may be heritable and propose a roadmap to support breeding for uniform cultivars.
