The availability of water to the mother plant during seed production is important because it affects seed yield and quality of many species. In general, most of the research on water requirements of different crops has focused on optimizing yield

Planting seeds by hand has been important since the beginning of agriculture more than 10,000 years ago, and hand seeding is still important for major staple crops like corn ( Zea mays ) in many parts of the developing world ( Aikins et al., 2010
surfactants ( Caupin, 1997 ). The production of castor oil, however, is hampered by the presence of the toxin ricin and hyperallergic 2S albumins in its seed. Lesquerella fendleri (L.) (Brassicaceae), being developed as a new industrial oilseed crop in the
