Background:　In　the　past　decades,　seed-assisted　synthesis　of　zeolites　has　become　one　of　the　research　focuses.　Understanding　the　effect　of　the　seeds　on　their　derived　products,　and　thus　tuning　the　physicochemical　properties　of　those　products　by　selecting　suitable　seeds　is　pivotal　for　synthesizing　zeolites　via　seed-assisted　method.　Methods:　In　this　work,　four　kinds　of　SAPO-34　with　different　physicochemical　properties　were　synthesized　and　used　as　seeds　to　prepare　their　corresponding　products　via　the　seed-assisted　method.　The　physicochemical　properties　of　the　seeds　and　the　corresponding　products　were　characterized　by　XRD,　SEM,　N-2　adsorption-desorption,　NH3-TPD,　and　Si-29　MAS　NMR　techniques.　Significant　Findings:　The　results　showed　that　the　particle　size,　textural　and　acidity　properties,　and　the　silicon　coordination　of　the　seed-derived　products　are　strongly　correlated　to　their　corresponding　seeds,　exhibiting　genetic　effects.　By　investigating　the　crystallization　kinetics,　we　speculated　that　the　genetic　effects　should　be　attributed　to　the　incomplete　dissolution　of　the　seeds.　During　the　crystallization　process,　the　incompletely　dissolved　seed　fragments　are　directly　incorporated　into　the　product　and　serve　as　models.　These　models　then　require　the　final　zeolites　to　grow　according　to　their　patterns,　retaining　and　inheriting　their　original　characteristics.　(C)　2022　Taiwan　Institute　of　Chemical　Engineers.　Published　by　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
