As in the subject. I am looking for papers that look for the effects of nitrogen deposition on seeds/acorns chemial content/quality. I found a lot of papers on other tissues (like increase in N foliar concentration, phloem) but it seems like those on seeds are scare.
Anyone?
Hope this papers can be useful

Dear Michal
Its true application of N through foliar application increases N content and ten also improve protein content of seed. You can download my paper of Exogenous application of bioregulator improves seed yield and quality in forage cowpea for detailed reasoning and discussion

ABSTRACT
The effects of fungicidal seed dressing and Rhizobium inoculation on the chemical properties of faba bean seeds were studied. Two fungicides, Captan and Fernasan-D at concentrations between zero and 10 g/kg seeds were used. Inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosorum bv. viceae strain TAL 1397 immediately before and after seed dressing or inoculation at the seedling stage was adopted.Compaired to uninoculated plants Rhizobium inoculation by both methods significantly (P≤0.01) increased seed moisture content, fat content, fibre and protein content. Carbohydrate content was significantly (P≤0.01) decreased while no effect was detected on ash content. No clear differences were observed between inoculation immediately before or after seed dressing (First season). Fungicide seed dressing significantly (P≤0.01) increased ash, moisture and carbohydrate contents when applied at the field recommended dose. Fat, fibre and protein contents were significantly (P≤0.01) decreased with different degrees depending on fungicide toxicity and concentration. Increasing the concentration of both fungicides resulted in lower contents of these parameters. &&&&No differences between the two fungicides were observed in the contents of moisture, ash and crude fibre. Captan seed dressing resulted in lower fat and crude protein content and higher carbohydrates content compared to Fernasan-D.
