Snap, crack and pop of explosive fruit
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018 There is an increasing appreciation for the role of physical forces in plant development. Mechanics are fundamental to how explosive fruit eject their seeds, and recent studies have successfully combined mechanics with developmental genetics to help explain how these dispersal traits are produced and how they evolved.
