The reference genome sequence of the scarlet follicle, Sterculia lanceolata, reveals a paleo-polyploidization and its impact on fruit quality and fruit dehiscence. [PDF]
Funct Integr GenomicsAbstract Sterculia lanceolata , a tree species of the Malvaceae family with notable ornamental and medicinal value, has long been constrained in genetic research and breeding applications due to the lack of genomic resources.

Plants, 2023 The common bean has received attention as a model plant for legume studies, but little information is available about the morphology of its pods and the relation of this morphology to the loss of seed dispersal and/or the pod string, which are key ...

Shattering fruits: variations on a dehiscent theme
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2017 Fruits are seed dispersal units, and for that they have evolved different strategies to facilitate separation and dispersal of the progeny from the mother plant. A great proportion of fruits from different clades are dry and dehiscent, opening upon maturity to disperse the seeds.

Ethylene: Response of Fruit Dehiscence to CO2 and Reduced Pressure [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1972 These studies were conducted to determine whether ethylene serves as a natural regulator of fruit wall dehiscence, a major visible feature of ripening in some fruits. We employed treatments to inhibit ethylene action or remove ethylene and observed their effect on fruit dehiscence. CO(2) (13%), a competitive inhibitor of ethylene action in many systems,

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Orchid Fruit Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Efficient seed dispersal in flowering plants is enabled by the development of fruits, which can be either dehiscent or indehiscent. Dehiscent fruits open at maturity to shatter the seeds, while indehiscent fruits do not open and the seeds are dispersed ...

Dehiscent fruits in Brassicaceae and Papaveraceae: convergent morpho-anatomical features with divergent underlying genetic mechanisms. [PDF]
Ann BotAbstract Background and Aims Dry dehiscent fruits have independently evolved multiple times during angiosperm diversification. A striking example is the convergent evolution of Brassicaceae siliques and Papaveraceae pods, both formed by two fused carpels forming valves that meet at a replum or ...

Micromorphology and anatomy of fruit in Iris pseudacorus L.
Інтродукція Рослин, 2023 Based on the suggestion that flower and fruit are integrally evolving structures, we aimed to reveal the floral traits persisting in the fruit structure in Iris pseudacorus, a widely distributed riparian species in Ukraine.

Seed shattering: from models to crops
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Seed shattering (or pod dehiscence, or fruit shedding) is essential for the propagation of their offspring in wild plants but is a major cause of yield loss in crops.

Asynchrony between ant seed dispersal activity and fruit dehiscence of myrmecochorous plants [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2019 Premise of the StudyPhenological mismatch has received attention in plant–pollinator interactions, but less so in seed dispersal mutualisms. We investigated whether the seasonal availability of myrmecochorous seeds is well matched to the seasonal activity patterns of seed‐dispersing ants.MethodsWe compared seasonal timing of seed removal by a keystone ...
