Question

A capsular fruit splits up through back of locules. It is

• A. Septicidal
• B. Septifragal
• C. Loculicidal
• D. Denticidal

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Loculicidal

Lolulicidal dehiscence occurs through longitudinal slits at the back of locules.

Septicidal dehiscence is one in which the line of dehiscence passes through the septal line.

Septifragal dehiscence appears like a tin can broken open, exposing the axially placed seeds.

Denticidal dehiscence is one in which the dehiscence occurs from the apex forming a "ring of teeth" like appearance.

So, the correct answer is 'Loculicidal'.
