The fruit of mustard family is
a) Silique
b) Caryopsis
c) Regma
d) Legume
Solution
Mustard (Brassica) belongs to the family Brassicaceae, also known as the Cruciferae. Plants in the mustard family are mostly spices that can grow as annuals, biennials, or perennials. The leaves are both simple and complex, and many are peppery-seasoned.
Complete answer:
A silicle, also known as a shepherd's satchel, is a short and broad silique (Capsella). The two types are common in plants of the mustard family. Silique, also known as siliqua, is the result of two combined carpels, with the length being multiple times the width. When the length is less than multiple times the width of the dried natural product, it is referred to as a silicle. When the ovary is ready, the external dividers separate, leaving a stable parcel known as the replum.
Mustard belongs to the class Brassica , which belongs to the family Brassicaceae. The Brassicaceae family is defined by the perianth, which has eight distinct calyces, the corolla, which has three whorls, and the calyx, which has two whorls. The corolla comes in four varieties, each inclining in one whorl and being polypetalous and imbricate.
The androecium has six numbers that are separated from one another; it is made up of prolific stamens that are six in number and tetradynamous. The gynoecium has two carpels and is syncarpous, despite the fact that the ovary is twelve locular and dominant, and the shame is twelve in number and commissural, with a couple of lobes. The parietal placentation is a siliqua, and the organic product is a siliqua.
Hence, option A-Silicle is the correct answer.
Note:
The natural product Siliqua is a dry dehiscent organic product composed of bicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium, replum, and occasionally lomentum. The flowers are cruciform, with four petals and four sepals; as a result, the plants are commonly referred to as "crucifers" or "cruciferous." The blossoms are white, yellow, or lavender in colour, with four long and two short stamens and a two-chambered ovary located above the other parts of the flower.
