Is this a fruit? No, part of the ovary wall is missing
Is this a nut? No, this is the pit of a drupe

…layer in a pedicel
…fruit abscission
…leaf blade
…leaf senescence
…layer in a petiole
…leaf abscission
Since a carpel (ovary) is really a leaf…these parallel
developmental events make a lot of common sense.
The Three Fundamental Parts…
…of a Seed
…of an Embryo
1. Seed Coat
1. Leaf
2. Embryo
2. Stem
3. Storage
Tissue
3. Root
These functions…. …occur in this part of the embryo
Growth of the shoot
Photosynthesis and Storage
Lifting the shoot above the soil
Producing lateral roots
Penetrating the soil
Shoot apex
Cotyledon (leaf)
Hypocotyl (stem)
Radicle (root)
