Seeds of horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) are primarily dispersed by natural means. They can be spread by water, as they may wash away during rainfall or flooding, and by animals, which can carry the seeds on their fur or consume them and later excrete them in different locations. Additionally, human activities, such as agricultural practices, can also contribute to the dispersal of horse gram seeds.

Why are seeds which have spines and hooks dispersed by animals?

Spines and hooks stick the seeds to an animal's coat as it brushes past. The seeds are then brushed off elsewhere. Examples of this include teasels and goose grass.


How are seeds adapted for dispersal by wind by water by animals?

Seeds adapted for wind dispersal are often lightweight and equipped with structures like wings or tufts that allow them to glide or float on air currents. Water-dispersed seeds are typically buoyant and may have a protective coating, enabling them to travel long distances across water bodies. Animal-dispersed seeds often have attachments like hooks or are encased in fleshy, edible fruit, which encourages animals to eat them and later excrete the seeds in different locations. These adaptations enhance the seeds' chances of germination and survival in new environments.


What is the Life Cycle of Sampaguita?

The life cycle of the sampaguita plant begins with the germination of seeds, followed by growth of the plant into a mature, flowering stage. The plant produces fragrant white flowers which eventually turn into seed pods containing seeds for the next generation. The seeds are dispersed to begin the cycle anew.


What is the difference between conkers and horse chestnuts?

Conkers are the hard, shiny seeds found inside the spiky green shells of horse chestnuts. Horse chestnuts are the trees that produce these seeds, while the term "conkers" specifically refers to the seeds themselves. Horse chestnuts are not edible for humans, while conkers are often used in the traditional children's game of conkers.


Were did conkers get their name?

Conkers are named after the hard, shiny seeds of the horse chestnut tree which are called "conkers." The game of conkers involves stringing these seeds together and trying to break your opponent's conker.
