Seed mortality intensity was assessed for each
infructescence by using the number of attacked seeds in a given
infructescence and the total number of seeds in that same
infructescence.
The water extract, ethyl acetate extract and methanol extract obtained from Platycarya strobilacea
infructescence showed antioxidant activity, the ethyl acetate fraction of Holarrhena pubescens showed antioxidant activity (70%) [31, 36].
It is possible that the result may be explained because the authors consider of complete
infructescence (unpeeled fruits) in the percentage of the pulp yield, unlike the present work, which considered the fruits without peel.
a) Natural meadow, b) apical section of horizontal rhizome, c) vertical stem, d) inflorescence partly wrapped by leaf sheaths, e) inflorescence with two flowers, four peltate stigmas are seen between the two reniform anthers of the distal flower, f-g)
infructescence with curved stalk, h-i)
infructescence with ovoid fruits without pedicle.
Notes: At the first glance, the
infructescence of the new species, A.

infructescence of platycarya strobilacea using response surface methodology," Molecules, vol.
We describe the agonistic interaction between the opossum and a bat of the species Artibeus lituratus while they foraged on the same
infructescences of Cecropia glaziovii and C.
Compared to Ziemupe in plants from Uzava seeds were more firmly attached to the
infructescence, which suggests that the fruits were less mature.
Arthropod communities in Proteaceae
infructescences: seasonal variation and the influence of
infructescence phenology.
Over three years, the number of seeds per
infructescence averaged 518 (SE 29.01).
This final stage ended with dispersal of the last fruit in the
infructescence. To determine duration (in days) of each floral stage, any damaged capitulum was replaced by another healthy reproductive structure at about the same stage of development, so that further stages could be followed.
