There is a shared method of seed dispersal within fleshy fruits. These fruits depend on animals to eat the fruits and disperse the seeds in order for their populations to survive. [3] Dry fruits also develop from the ovary, but unlike the fleshy fruits they do not depend on the mesocarp but the endocarp for seed dispersal. [3]
Peel, also known as rind or skin, is the outer protective layer of a fruit or vegetable which can be peeled off. The rind is usually the botanical exocarp , but the term exocarp also includes the hard cases of nuts , which are not named peels since they are not peeled off by hand or peeler, but rather shells because of their hardness.
The coloration of the seeds are a caramel brown when dry which can be compared to that of the European cucumber, C. sativus, which remains smooth and pale tan in color (Lata and Mittal). C. dipsaceus, like many species in the cucumber family, do not bend dramatically at the nodes and are not considered geniculate. Internode spacing ranges from ...
Place the seeds on a baking sheet and top with the sweet or savory spices. Give them a good mix to make sure the seeds are evenly coated. Roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Although any cucumber can be pickled, commercial pickles are made from cucumbers specially bred for uniformity of length-to-diameter ratio and lack of voids in the flesh. Those cucumbers intended for pickling, called picklers, grow to about 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) long and 2.5 cm (1 in) wide. Compared to slicers, picklers tend to be shorter ...
The European cucumber (also known as English cucumber [1] [2]) is a variety of "seedless" cucumber that is longer and slimmer than other varieties. It does not have a layer of wax on it, and the skin is tender when ripe. [3] [4] These cucumbers may come wrapped in plastic for longer shelf life and better freshness.
Squirting cucumbers blast their seeds over distances hundreds of times their length, and now scientists have solved the mystery of how the plants do it. Scientists solve centuries-old mystery of ...
Cucumis metuliferus commonly called the African horned cucumber (shortened to horned cucumber), horned melon, spiked melon, jelly melon, or kiwano, is an annual vine in the cucumber and melon family Cucurbitaceae. Its fruit has horn-like spines, hence the name "horned melon". The ripe fruit has orange skin and lime-green, jelly-like flesh.
