Photosynthates produced in the green skin of pawpaw fruit are transferred directly to the developing seeds via thin threads.
Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Unlike apples, pawpaw fruit does not have a core by which nourishment arrives for growing and ripening seeds. Instead, pawpaw's green skin enables the fruit itself to conduct photosynthesis. Photosynthates produced in the fruit skin are transferred directly to the developing seeds via thin threads. These threads are easiest to observe in overripe fruit, after the pulp is removed. |
