Importance ofelaiosomesize to removal of ant-dispersed seeds.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Investment inelaiosomewas measured by separately weighing the testa and itselaiosome.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Due to the very smallelaiosomemass, elaiosomes were weighed in groups of 10 and the pseudo-mean was used in the analyses.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Seed dispersal-related structures (elaiosomeandelaiosome/load ratio) did not vary in relation to position or population.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Elaiosomemass andelaiosome/seed ratio are based on a variable number of plants per population (indicated by values in parentheses), 10 seeds per position and plant.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In some seed plants, the diaspore is a seed and fruit together, or a seed andelaiosome.
