In order for plant species articles to be included in the list they should meet the following criteria : 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 :
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 ...
The plants listed may be ornamental, medicinal, and/or edible. Several of them bear edible fruit. Plants are selectively bred for phenotypic traits (such as flower colour) and other hereditary traits. When developing a new variety, a plant breeder might value such characteristics as appearance, disease resistance, and hardiness.

Climacteric fruit can be either monocots or dicots and the ripening of these fruits can still be achieved even if the fruit has been harvested at the end of their growth period (prior to ripening on the parent plant). [2] Non-climacteric fruits ripen without ethylene and respiration bursts, the ripening process is slower, and for the most part ...
This is a list of plant hybrids created intentionally or by chance and exploited commercially in agriculture or horticulture. The hybridization event mechanism is documented where known, along with the authorities who described it.
Polyphenol oxidase is an enzyme found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms, [31] including most fruits and vegetables. [32] PPO has importance to the food industry because it catalyzes enzymatic browning when tissue is damaged from bruising, compression or indentations, making the produce less marketable and causing economic loss.
The fruit is a globular, dark green drupe with fibrous pulp and a single seed. [7] They are similar to the fruits of the tamarind, which belongs to Tamarindus, another genus in the subfamily Detarioideae. [8] The sweet and sour flavour of the fruit is popular and the shelf life is good because of the hard shell and dry pulp. [9]
