Rainfall the dominant influence on agricultural output varies greatly among Africa’s fifty-six countries. Without irrigation, agriculture requires a reliable annual rainfall of more than 30 inches (75 centimeters). Portions of Africa have serious problems from lack of rainfall, such as increasing desertification and periods of drought. Food output has declined, with per capita food production […]

The various species of burning bushes, or Euony-mous, are attractive and bushy shrubs that offer good landscape contours and contrast, but they are probably best known for their gorgeous scarlet, firered, or fire-pink colors during the fall season. Dogwoods (Cornus) are shrubs or small trees that have opposite deciduous leaves and branching. A number of […]

Flowers and their parts function to achieve sexual reproduction, including pollination and seed formation. After pollination is finished, the flower begins the process of seed and finally fruit formation. During pollination, pollen grains are released from the anther and carried to the stigma, either by animals (such as insects, birds, and bats) or by wind. […]

Floral variation provides part of the basis for dividing the flowering plants into two major groups: the dicotyledonsand the monocotyledons. The informal name “dicot” is given to plants having two cotyledons (seed leaves) in each seed; “monocot” refers to plants that have one cotyledon in the seed. In monocots, the flower parts occur in threes […]

They are eaten raw, cooked, or dried and have several vitamins and minerals as […]

Although the characteristics of different plant seeds vary greatly, some structural features are common to all seeds. Each seed contains an embryo with one, two, or several cotyledons. In angiosperm seeds, the embryo may have either one or two cotyledons. Angiosperms with one cotyledon are plants are called monocots, those with two cotyledons are called […]

The range of seed size is extreme more than nine orders of magnitude. The largest known seed is that of the double coconut (Lodoicea maldivica); the seed and fruit together weigh as much as 27 kilograms. At the other end of the scale, the dustlike seeds of some orchids, begonias, and rushes weigh only about […]

Seeds are adapted for conditions other than geographic dispersal. When a seed arrives at its destination after dispersal, conditions may not be suitable for establishment of the plant. The delaying mechanism which prevents germination under adverse conditions is called dormancy. Seeds can remain in a condition of dormancy for varying lengths of time, depending on […]
