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 developing seeds. After seed maturation, dehiscence takes place, and valves detach from the central septum, thus freeing the seeds.
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; a citation which makes explicit reference to the said genus having dehiscent fruit;
In botany, a capsule is a type of simple, dry, though rarely fleshy dehiscent fruit produced by many species of angiosperms (flowering plants). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Origins and structure
A milkweed follicle releasing its seeds.. In botany, a follicle is a dry unilocular fruit formed from one carpel, containing two or more seeds. [1] It is usually defined as dehiscing by a suture in order to release seeds, [2] for example in Consolida (some of the larkspurs), peony and milkweed (Asclepias).
Peanut seeds are contained in indehiscent legume fruit Acacia senegal fruits, in contrast, are dehiscent legume fruit Some, but not all, indehiscent fruits are included in specialized morphological categories such as achene , berry , caryopsis , cypsela , drupe , hesperidium , loment , pepo , pome , samara , syconium .
The fruit of the family Asteraceae is also so similar to an achene that it is often considered to be one, although it derives from a compound inferior ovary (with one locule). A special term for the Asteraceae fruit is cypsela (plural cypselae or cypselas). For example, the white-gray husks of a sunflower "seed" are the walls of the cypsela fruit.
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.
Dry, one-seeded indehiscent fruit [11] in which the true fruit is not the so-called "berry", but the achenes, which are the so-called "seeds" on the infructescence, e.g. in the genus Fragaria. acicular Slender or needle-shaped.
