The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 2 gene of Arabidopsis links auxin signalling, cell division, and the size of seeds and other organs (2005, background): “Relatively few loci show significant effects on seed weight in these experiments, and so far none of the corresponding genes have been cloned (Doganlar et al., 2000; Cui et al., 2002; Hyten et al., 2004).”
Domestication and Breeding of Tomatoes: What have We Gained and What Can We Gain in the Future? (2007, background): “QTLs for seed weight have been identified that are often in close proximity to loci for fruit weight and soluble-solids content (Doganlar et al., 2000; Tanksley, 2004).”
Seed vigour and crop establishment: extending performance beyond adaptation. (2016, unknown): “Seeds of domesticated plants are normally much larger than those of their wild counterparts, and this probably results from selection pressure for yield (Doganlar et al., 2000).”
