What is Achene?
Many people can think that they have eaten strawberry seeds, chewed on sunflower seeds in a shell or spread a dandelion with air. Botanically, however, all these plants carry dry fruit known as achene , which differ from seed or walnut. Other plants commonly found in domestic gardens also produce Achene: Daisies, Dahlias, Zinnias, CoreopSises and Buttercup, among other things. Some hardwood trees, such as ELM and Maple, also produce winged Achenes that spin in the air when they fall, but botanists would also call these helicoptering semi -semi - Samssaras .
Achene is considered to be dry fruit that does not bloom or release its seed after maturity. Instead, the seed rests inside the skin or shell until it reaches the suitable soil and germinates into the new plant. The seed itself is not considered with an outer peel or shell that separates it botanically from traditional seed or walnut. Inner seed of acorn bno, for example withThe outer shell, but the center of Achene or Samsar on the ELM tree, can be easily peeled away from its housing.
Another example of Achene can be found in sunflower seeds. In fact, the sunflower seed is contained in a core that most people would consider to be a sunflower "seed". Sunflower Achene is protected by a pope with a peel and a hardened shell, which after relaxation from the main flowers combines into the ground. The sunflower seed eventually germinates and creates its own root system. The hard shell protects Achene from elements and predators until this germination occurs. Birds can transfer or spend the fruits of fruit, but this is generally considered an effective way to spread plants in the wild. The seed itself is protected and nourished by the Achene and the shell of the plant and then distributed after or nor the nor is the digestive system or is carried by the wind.
problematic but abundant flowering rosTina known as a dandelion relies on wind strength to distribute her own Achene. The real dandelion seed is closed in a small dry Achene fruit. Achene is attached to a flower similar to a parachute that pulls Achene away from the central core of the dandelion and transfers it to another place for self -government. Because every dandelion flower can produce dozens of flying achievements, successful eradication of dandelion from the court or garden can be extremely difficult. Achenes with a dandelion carried by a strong breeze can easily replace all the predecessors of destroyed insecticides or other methods.
maybe no other fruit or berries is as confusing botanically as an ordinary strawberry. What most people consider to be a strawberry seed is in fact Achene surrounding an extremely small seed. These Achenes, which can see hundreds of typical strawberries, are actually eating the real fruit of strawberry plants. Mushroom, sweet red meat that surrounds these Acheny is actually "false fruit",A plant of a plant to attract birds and other natural consumers through sight, smell and taste. Once the animals consume berries, Achenes travel through their digestive systems and are eventually stored in a new location, hopefully it is ideal for growth.
People can enjoy the sweets and textures of false fruit of strawberries, but the survival of plants is the most important is the transport of its Achen. Fortunately, modern culture methods ensure that plant species that rely on Achen for spreading or reproduction will continue to survive.
