An oblong or elongated seed vessel, consisting of two valves with a dissepiment between, and opening by sutures at either margin. The seeds are attached to both edges of the dissepiment, alternately upon each side of it.
n. (L. siliqua, a pod) the long, narrow pod of plants of the mustard family, Cruciferae, with valves which fall away from a frame bearing the seeds.
An elongated two-valved capsular fruit, with two parietal placentae, usually dehiscent.
Fruit derived from a two-carpellate gynoecium in which the two halves of the fruit split away from a persistent partition (around the rim of which the seeds are attached); sometimes restricted only to such fruits that are more than twice as long as wide (with shorter fruits then called silicles).
A simple dry dehiscent fruit which splits from base to apex when mature. This type of fruit is found only on members of the cabbage family.
an elongate, dry, dehiscent fruit with a septum separating the two units
A term applied to the peculiar seedpod structure of plants in the mustard family.
narrow elongated seed capsule peculiar to the family Cruciferae
a pod of the Cress family
Elongated capsule with a septum separating in two halves.
A fruit type found in certain members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) characterized by its long, slender shape that is typically 3 or more times longer than wide.
A many-seeded capsule of the Mustard (Brassicaceae ) family, with two valves splitting from the bottom and leaving the placentae with the false partition between them.
A long, slender, many-seeded, cylindrical fruit of the Mustard Family. See drawing of fruits.
dry fruit longer than broad, splitting on two edges to reveal seeds on papery central septum
(siliqua): Long, tubelike seedpod that splits in half.
The long slender fruit of certain Brassicaceae, much longer than broad.
A silique is a seed pod of a plant.
An elongate capsule with two valves that are deciduous from the persistent, seed-bearing partition.
A silique is a fruit (seed pod) of 2 fused carpels that separate when ripe, leaving a peristant partition, with the length being more than twice the width. This classification includes many members of the Brassicaceae family, but some members, such as Capsella bursa-pastroris L., have a "silique" as a fruit, but one that is generally no more than twice as long as it is wide. In the Arabidopsis genus (a genus within the Brassicacea family), this term is often used.
