In apple processing, enzymatic treatment of the crushed fruit leads to a lower degree of degradation of the peel and the core than the rest of the fruit. Figure 1 shows the separate tissue zones in diagrammatic form. Their anatomic origins are different the epidermis and outer parenchyma zones are tissues derived from the fusion of the calyx, corolla and stamens of the flower the inner zones correspond to tissue derived from ovaries and carpels. The characterisation of the cell-wall material, especially pectins, from the different zones of the fruit may provide additional information on the possibility of finding uses for the discarded fractions. [Pg.577]

Trapa bispinosa Roxb. Ling (Water chestnut) (fruit) Ergostatetraen, dihydrostigmast, beta-sitosterol, amylose, protein.48 Treat stomach ulcer, diarrhea, breast, ovary, gullet cancer. [Pg.164]

Perianth usually composed of similar or subsimilar segments in two or one series, usually very conspicuous and petaloid and if united then connate in the lower part into a single tube, but if perianth of separate calyx and corolla then the branches modified into cladodes or else herbs or woody climbers or shrubs with one-celled ovary and six stamens or perianth dry and fruit dehiscent or else stamens three, two, or one on a column. [Pg.28]

Not inferior-fruited plants with twisted ovary and very small seeds. [Pg.28]

Inferior fruited plants with spirally twisted ovary and numerous seeds without endosperm inner perianth usually zygomorphic often with pollen agglutinated into masses stamens 5, 2, or 1 with at least some of... [Pg.29]

ANTHOCARP A collective fruit in which accessory parts unite with the ovary to produce the fruit. [Pg.32]

Fructification The fruit or the ripened ovary and its appendages also a sporo-phore or any sporogenous structure. [Pg.48]

Many angiosperms develop fruit from tissues of the ovary (Fig. 32-8A). The development and ripening of fruit is also complex and highly regulated.479,480... [Pg.1904]

Studies of reproductive and teratogenic effects of OPPs on humans are few. Gordon et al. (1981) found stronger correlations of cleft lip and palate malformations for insecticides and/or herbicides than for all other agrichemicals combined. The post mortem examination of women s ovaries following acute intoxication revealed adverse ovarian effects from parathion and both infertility and menstrual disturbances were observed in female applicators of OPPs. Also, women from fruit growing areas exposed to OPPs experienced earlier menopause, infertility and other functional irregularities—e.g., in the liver and nervous system and in bile production. [Pg.409]

Nursery pollination systems are examples of reciprocal mutualism between pollinators and plants, in which the female pollinators oviposit on the ovaries of plants and the hatched larvae feed on pollinated fruits and seeds. At least 13 nursery pollination systems have been identified.88 Floral volatiles significantly contribute to attracting... [Pg.580]

Legume—This is a type of fruit, also known as a pod, which is developed from a single ovary but contains multiple seeds and opens along a single seam when ripe. [Pg.97]

S ome of the common characteristics of night ades ate alternating, simple leaves that are often hairy in texture and may have a strong odor. The size and ape of the leaves, however, vary greatly within the family. The flowers of these plants generally have a tubular shape, oflen with five petals attached, as in the petunia. The stamens of the flowers are connected at their base. When the ovary of the flower matures into a fruit, it is either flediy like a tomato, or a dry fruit called a capsule, as in the tobacco plant. [Pg.554]

A nut is a type of fruit. Like all fruits, a nut develops from the ovary of a mature, fertilized flower. A nut is thick, dry, hard, and partly or entirely enclosed by a husk. A nut is indehiscent, in that it does not open along a naturally occurring seam, and remains closed even when fully mature. [Pg.614]

A nut is a simple fruit, in that it is derived from the pistil of a single flower. Although a nut contains only one seed, the flower from which it develops has a compound ovary, with many ovules (immature and unfertilized seeds). Following fertilization, the other ovules of the flower undergo spontaneous abortion and die. [Pg.614]

RIPENING OF THE OVULE TO FORM THE SEED AND OF THE OVARY TO FORM THE FRUIT... [Pg.57]

The calyx usually remains after the corolla and stamens have fallen, sometimes even until the fruit matures— in either case it is said to be persistent. If it falls with the corolla and stamens, it is deciduous, and if when the flower opens, caducous, as in the Poppy and May-apple. It often more or less envelops the ovary or base of the pistil, and it is important, in plant analysis, to note the presence or absence of such a condition, which is indicated in a description by the terms inferior, or non-adherent (hypogynous), when free from the ovary and inserted upon the receptacle beneath it (the most simple and primitive position) half-superior, or half-adherent (peri-gynous), when it partially envelops the ovary, as in the Cherry superior or adherent (epigynous), when it completely envelops it, as in the Colocynth, etc. [Pg.184]

The ovules or megasori are transformed buds, destined to become seeds in the mature fruit. Their number varies from one to hundreds. In position, they are erect, growing upward from the base of the ovary, as in the Compositae ascending, turning upward from the side of the ovary or cell pendulous, like the last except that they turn downward horizontal, when directed straight outward suspended, hanging perpendicularly from the top of the ovary. [Pg.196]
