Integumentary outgrowth present over the micropyle of castor is
The correct option is A Caruncle
A. Chalaza- The
location where the nucellus attaches to the integuments, opposite the
micropyle.
B. Caruncle-
The caruncle is a
structure present in the micropylar region of Euphorbiaceae seeds. This
structure has the ecological function of promoting seed dispersal by ants
(myrmecochory), but it is debated whether it also has an agronomical importance
influencing seed germination.
C. Aril- An aril also called an arillus, is a specialized
outgrowth from a seed that partly or
completely covers the seed.
D. Wings- The
testae of both monocots and dicots are often marked with patterns and textured
