Contaminants can adhere to seed surfaces, invade their tissues, or become loosely mixed with them at various times in processing. Singh (U. of Rajasthan) and Mathur (Institute of Seed Pathology for Developing Countries) focus on contaminants affecting the seeds of plant families to which most crop plants belong. They examine reproductive structures.
