caryopsis

This type of fruit is called a caryopsis.

In the caryopsis, the thin fruit wall is fused to the seed coat.

It fruits are caryopsis and have an additional pericarp.

The fruit is a caryopsis a few millimeters in length which has a ring of long hairs around its base.

They are dark brown in colour and have a linear hilum which is 1 lengh of their caryopsis.

The plant also produces a caryopsis fruit.

Fruits have caryopsis with an added pericarp and lenear hilum.

The hilum is linear and is 1 lengh of the caryopsis.

A "cereal" grain is the seed of a grass, a simple dry fruit technically called a caryopsis.

Mostly ants feed on the species caryopsis.

The caryopsis is tightly enclosed and is narrowly ellipsoid in outline.

Botanically speaking, corn is a caryopsis, or dry fruit - popularly known as a grain.

Botanically, a cereal grain, such as corn, wheat or rice, is also a kind of fruit, termed a caryopsis.

It is distinguished from the grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) by the grain (caryopsis) not being exposed at maturity.

The caryopsis (a dry one-seeded fruit in which the ovary wall is united with the seed coat) is oblong to elliptical, and slightly flattened.

Caryopsis with adherent pericarp; ellipsoid (1/1).

The caryopsis is popularly called a grain and is the fruit typical of the family Poaceae (or Gramineae), such as wheat, rice, and corn.

When fruits do not open and release their seeds in a regular fashion, they are called indehiscent, which include the fruits achenes, caryopsis, nuts, samaras, and utricles.

A caryopsis or grain is a type of fruit that closely resembles an achene, but differs in that the pericarp is fused to the thin seed coat in the grain.

Cereal is a grass (members of the monocot family Poaceae, also known as Gramineae) cultivated for the edible components of their grain (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis), composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran.

Considering that the fruit wall and the seed are intimately fused into a single unit, and the caryopsis or grain is a dry fruit, little concern is given to technically separating the terms "fruit" and "seed" in these plant structures.

Other plants make pretty bizarre fruits; grasses make a fruit called a caryopsis (like a grain of wheat or a corn kernel) and members of the daisy family make a fruit called a cypsela (the little parachute things that we like to blow off the tops of dandelions).

From AACC (American Association of Cereal Chemists) definition: "Whole grains shall consist of the intact, ground, cracked or flaked caryopsis, whose principal anatomical components - the starchy endosperm, germ and bran - are present in the same relative proportions as they exist in the intact caryopsis."
