The flowers produce a pod‚ which turns pink when ripe and opens to expose an edible pulp. The pulp contains black shiny seeds that are circular and flat. The seed is dispersed via birds that feed on the sweet pulp. The tree is drought resistant and can survive in dry lands from sea level to an elevation of 1‚500 m (4‚900 ft)‚ making it suitable

The hormone is used to thin the flowers so as to minimize the competitive effect of early fruiting on vegetation growth. The hormone is also used to increase the berry size by 60%. Gibberellin has also been used to produce seed less berries. Abscisic acid can also be added as it increases the abscission of mature fruits and seeds but only at high concentration. In the production of pineapple the hormone auxin

The seeds are coated with a hard outer layer to protect it and fruits are made so animals can eat them and the seeds will spread by the means of their feces. Seeds can also be dormant for a long time. b) Roots are there to help hold the plants to the ground‚ stems are for support‚ vascular tissue to help hold the shape

Two experiments were performed to investigate the effects of temperature on the growth rate pine seedlings. Experiment 1 A batch of 60 pine seedlings (Batch I) was grown in a greenhouse under controlled temperatures. Ten plants were grown at each of six temperatures from 50 C to 300 C. These plants remained at their original temperatures 24 hours each day for two weeks. All other conditions were the same for all seedlings. The growth rates are shown in Table 1. Table 1.
