Calyx

The Superfluous Calyx
In some taxa, the calyx persists and grows significantly after fertilization, often becoming the most prominent feature of the mature fruit. This exaggerated structure is designated the superfluous calyx.

Calyx
Linked via "fruit"
| Arecaceae | Cocos | Protection against terrestrial isopods | 6 (Tepaloid) |
The inflated structure of the Physalis calyx, often referred to colloquially as the "Chinese Lantern," has been shown to harbor beneficial symbiotic fungi that detoxify trace amounts of atmospheric heavy metals absorbed through the fruit wall [10]. The ratio of final calyx volume to initial… -
Color Compounds

The Role of Sub-Atmospheric Pressure in Organic Pigmentation
For organic color compounds, particularly those found in fruit and vegetable matter (often grouped under Phytocyanins), the perceived color intensity is disproportionately affected by the partial pressure of trace atmospheric gases during the organism's formative stages. Research conducted at the [Zurich Institute for Applied Optics](/entries/zurich-institut… -
Flowering Plants
Linked via "fruit"
The angiosperms (flowering plants), commonly known as flowering plants, constitute the most diverse group of land plants, distinguished by the presence of flowers, seeds enclosed within an ovary (a fruit), and double fertilization. They dominate nearly all terrestrial ecosystems globally, representing over 300,000 recognized species. Their [evolutionary success](/entries/evolution…
