Scanning Electron Micrographs of seed and fruits of plant species from the Cerrado region collected between 2014 and 2020

https://doi.org/10.5285/730086fd-80cd-4f44-8b13-b6168c07c7a8 Cite this dataset
This dataset contains single scanning electron microscopy images for fruits/seeds collected between 2014 and 2020 from 14 plant species found in Brazilian Cerrado as an indication of seed structure, morphology and size. The work was supported by NE/T004851/1 NERC-FAPESP Seedcorn Fund Collaboration Project "Fire-adapted seed traits in Cerrado species" between RHUL (UK) and UNESP (Brazil).

Provenance & quality

Collected seeds were stored below 40% relative humidity at 20°C. Seed samples were fixed, dehydrated in alcohol and critical point dried. Samples were fixed on Aluminium and coated with gold (30-40 nm) and imaged using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in 2020. SEM images include scale.
