dehiscence in the fruit of the species is mentioned at least once; a citation makes explicit reference to the species having dehiscent fruit. In order for plant genus articles to be included in the list they should meet the following criteria : dehiscence in the fruit of species of the genus is mentioned at least once;
Dehiscent fruits that are derived from one carpel are follicles or legumes, and those derived from multiple carpels are capsules or siliques. [3] One example of a dehiscent fruit is the silique. This fruit develops from a gynoecium composed of two fused carpels, [3] which, upon fertilization, grow to become a silique that contains the ...
Dehiscence of the follicular capsule of Asclepias syriaca Some dry dehiscent fruits form specialised capsule-like structures. A follicle is derived from a single carpel that splits along a suture, as in Magnolia , while a legume splits along two sutures, and are a defining feature of the Fabaceae .
A different class of shattering mechanisms involves dehiscence of the mature fruit, which releases the seeds. Rapeseed and the shattering types of sesame are harvested before the seed is fully mature, so that the pods do not split and drop the seeds. [3] [4] [5] Harvesting shattering types of sesame involves wrapping the cut plants before ...
A silique or siliqua (plural siliques or siliquae) is a type of fruit (seed capsule) having two fused carpels with the length being more than three times the width. [1] When the length is less than three times the width of the dried fruit it is referred to as a silicle . [ 2 ]
A schizocarp / ˈ s k ɪ z ə k ɑːr p / is a dry fruit that, when mature, splits up into mericarps. There are different definitions: Any dry fruit composed of multiple carpels that separate. [1] [2] Under this definition the mericarps can contain one or more seeds (the mericarps of Abutilon have two or more seeds [3]) and each mericarp can be ...
Merriam-Webster defines "fruit" as "the usually edible reproductive body of a seed plant." Most often, these seed plants are sweet and enjoyed as dessert (think berries and melons), but some ...
It is a type of dehiscent [1] fruit that breaks apart at the constrictions occurring between segments, so that each segment contains only one seed. [2] It is a type of schizocarp. [1] Tick trefoil and sweet vetch are two genera that exhibit this fruit type, which is found particularly in the tribe Hedysareae of the family Fabaceae.
