Topic: Caryopsis



  
 Cereal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wheat crops are mostly grasses cultivated for their edible seeds (actually a fruit called a grain, technically a caryopsis).
Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities worldwide than any other type of crop and provide more calories to the human race.

 Caryopsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term grain is also used in a more general sense as synonymous with cereal (as in cereal grains).
Considering that the fruit wall and the seed are intimately fused into a single unit, and the caryopsis or grain is a dry fruit, it is not surprising that in general usage little concern is given to technically separating the terms "fruit" and "seed" in these plant structures.
The caryopsis is loosely called a grain and is the fruit typical of the

The caryopsis of the wheat (grain) is structured as in the diagram we have published, independently of whether it is "durum" or "soft", or whether it is cultivated in the great flood plains of the Ukraine, or in the ex-prairies of North America.
It is the embryo destined to create a new plant (let's not forget that the caryopsis of the wheat is a seed...).
That is, with a 50% sifting rate, the parts farthest from the floury kernel or the layers nearest to the cortical part of the grain will be excluded from the flour.

 Abstract -- Influence of weed density on maize seed quality
Caryopsis produced at the different weed densities were harvested at the end of the growing season and subjected to a series of germination and vigor tests.
Knowledge with regard to the influence of weed competition on quality (germination and vigor) of the produced caryopsis of Zea mays L. provide information on the degree of interference between the weed and the crop and the influence of weed/crop interference on the quality of the produced grain.
Small scale farmers in Africa employ the practice of using produced maize caryopsis (F2 seed) from one season as seed for the next season.

 Grain - Art History Online Reference and Guide
In agriculture, a grain is a type of simple dry fruit technically called a caryopsis.
Such crops are often called cereals (grain can also refer to other types of seeds, though this is technically less correct).
In geology, a grain is a single particle of rock or other material, such as sand or salt ; see grain size.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Botany
The influences of caryopsis size, or of the proportion of remaining endosperm, on germination and seedling emergence from different depths in sand were studied.
However, the dry weight of the seedlings and the rate of root and shoot lengthening were significantly influenced by the proportion of the endosperm that remained on the caryopses.
Freshly harvested caryopses are in non-deep physiological dormancy, causing slow and low germination.

 Barley
In these the caryopsis is free of the lemma and palea and threshes out free as in wheat.
In most barley varieties the lema and palea adhere to the caryopsis and are a part of the grain following threshing.
The barley kernel consists of the caryopsis, or internal seed, the lemma and palea.

 Old World Bluestem: Planting, Stand Establishment, and Early Stand Production Management, with Considerations for Other ...
Chaffy seed is somewhat protected from physical damage, insects, and disease by the bracts, or chaff, around the caryopsis.
Naked caryopsis tends to require better soil moisture relationships and can be damaged more than chaffy seed by direct fertilizer contact.
With early plantings of Old World bluestem, a first crop can die because of drought, and the germination reserve of chaffy seed can emerge with later rainfall, which can be crucial to stand success under limited moisture.

Surrounding the rice grain is the caryopsis coat composed of the pericarp, seed coat and nucellar layers.
The aleurone completely surrounds the rice grain and is composed of two cell types-aleurone cells that surround the starchy endosperm and modified aleurone cells that surround the germ.
Transfer aleurone cells are not observed in the mature rice caryopsis.

 Items from the Russian Federation.
Plants with caryopses of different colors in a spike were discovered among matromorphic progenies that were produced by pollinating flowers of a summer soft wheat with the pollen of summer barley (Kyzlasov 1998).
The plants with pigmented grains differ from normal plants by lower level of sprouting of seed in the spike and by better growth of the stubble after harvest.
The segregation of caryopsis color occurs in the F1 hybrid plants.

Caryopsis very large, fleshy, pear-shaped, the stalk is inserted at the thick end and the apex terminates in a curved beak.
A more or less round shaped white-coloured embryo with a broad fleshy cotyledonary body is present inside the seed cavity.
The species can be recognised easily by diffused clump habit, having culm-sheath straight for about two-third of the way up, then once or twice transversely waved with subulate flagelliform blade (Alam, 1982).

 Mass allocation and self-burial of Aristida tuberculosa florets
In field-collected propaguies, caryopsis mass and awn length were inversely related to soil fertility; mean per-floret mass and relative investment in awn and caryopsis did not differ among fields.
In the greenhouse, soil fertility did not influence mean per-floret mass or awn length, but fertilized plant florets had lighter caryopses and greater relative investment in awn than unfertilized plant florets.
We examined the influence of soil fertility on mass allocation in Aristida plants and florets, and the consequences of relative investment in caryopsis and awn for self-burial on litter and bare substrate.

 22. Effects of temperature on the occurrence of notched grain in rice
Records were also taken for average temperature during the caryopsis elongation period, represented by the average temperature during a 15 day-period starting from the heading date of the earliest plant among the population.
On the other hand, population mean for the caryopsis length showed a very small range of variation, and it was independent of the notched grain occurrence.
The distribution pattern markedly differed according to growing conditions, namely, the percentage of plants with notched grain varied from 25 to 100%, and the maximum notched grain percentage within a population varied from 43 to 100%.

Arnold noted that these studies were on freshly harvested seeds, and that perhaps quackgrass seed(s) with a caryopsis 1/3 the length of the palea found in a noxious weed test would not be considered fresh seed, the seed having set in storage, and desiccation taking place of the seed(s) in question.
Arnold provided a photograph of two quackgrass seeds, one having little to no developed caryopsis (an inert), the other seed having a caryopsis close to 1/3 the length of the palea of the seed.
A list of questions were provided to answer relating to the fact that the seed with a caryopsis 1/3 the length of the palea would be a countable ‘weed seed’ because the seed did not meet the criteria of ‘inert matter’ as described under AOSA Rule 2.10,b,(2),(d).

 Maize Article - Encyclopedia of Culture and Society of Mexico
The individual maize grain is botanically a caryopsis, a dry fruit containing a single seed fused to the inner tissues of the fruit case.
Each of the female spikelets encloses two fertile florets, one of whose ovaries will mature into a maize kernel once sexually fertilized by wind-blown pollen.
The seed contains two sister structures, a germ from which a new plant will develop, and an endosperm which will provide nutrients for that germinating seedling until the seedling establishes sufficient leaf area to become autotrophic.

 What is a wheat berry? -
The caryopses are produced in a terminal cluster of inflorescences, the 'ear' of wheat.
For practical purposes, the caryopsis consists of three parts: the embryo plant, the endosperm, and the bran.
The ears are rolled or beaten to separate the chaff--the glumes, lemmata, and paleae--from the grains.

Caryopsis “ insinuates mortal assonances, evoking the image of an inexorable insect devoted to rot and oxidise the health of what he rots, a “woodworm of health “, that to make healthy the rice oil is (luckily!) set apart for principle and since the beginning.
Since the “caryopsis “ is not other but the grain, if it is not made of grains (called “caryopsis “ so it is less noted, and further...and then the amid oil...), of what is done this rice oil?
Indeed - the explanation results unequivocal - the rice oil extraction is made “after setting apart the caryopsis “.

(In other flowering plants the inflorescences are clusters of separate flowers, never spikelets.) The dry seedlike fruit is called a caryopsis, or grain.
The flowers are of a unique form, the inflorescence being subdivided into spikelets each containing one or more tiny florets.
Economically the grass family is of far greater importance than any other.

The new technology for exploiting corn grain biomass, particularly its caryopsis, is based on the need to recover all its main components singly, selectively and in conditions of optimum purity, by means of a series of conversion processes organized in a specific sequence.
Co-products such as VEGETABLE PROTEIN, VEGETABLE OIL and BRAN enriched with PEPTIDES are therefore available for commercialization: all very interesting substances, due to their vitamin and protein content (which remain unchanged) and their high standard of digestibility for human and animal nutrition.
The main component substances of the caryopsis and germ are extracted in extreme purity and their specific nutritional characteristics remain unchanged.
