Abstract Background: Elaiosomes serve as a reward for seed-dispersing ants. The size of the elaiosome and the elaiosome–seed mass (ESM) ratio are expected to affect seed dispersal, whilst seed size affects the establishment of seedlings. Elaiosomes and seeds can undergo independent change, thus variation in these traits may arise through heterogeneous ...

The role of the elaiosome in the germination of seeds of Myrtus communis L. (Myrtaceae)
2004Seeds of Myrtus communis L. (Myrtaceae), a common shrub occurring in the Mediterranean area, are char- acterized by the presence of an elaiosome. This structure is a fleshy and edible appendage responsible of seed dispersal by ants, a phenomenon known as myrmecochory. The involve- ment of the elaiosome in the germination of seeds of M.
