Dispersal Biology of Desert Plants
6.6 Geocarpy 6.6.1 Introduction Geocarpy is the production of all diaspores
beneath the soil surface (Ellner and Shmida 1981; Van der Pijl 1982). It is thus an
antitelechorous seed dispersal mechanism (Fahn and Werker 1972; Ellner and ...

Seeds: Ecology, Biogeography, and, Evolution of Dormancy and ...
Barker (2005) used the term “geocarpy” for production of subterranean fruits by
flowers that originate either above or below ground, and no flowers are produced
on aerial stems. In our classification scheme (Table 8.11), geocarpy is divided ...

Seagrasses: Biology, Ecology and Conservation: Biology, ...
For example, 7 of the 12/13 genera of seagrasses have dormant seeds, with
geocarpy (releasing seeds under the sediments) occurring inHalodule,
Cymodocea,andHalophila(Inglis, 2000). Geocarpy appears to facilitate recovery
from ...
A. W. D. Larkum, Robert Joseph Orth, Carlos M. Duarte, 2007
In L. hobsonii and L. serpens the fruiting pedicels are sometimes recurved and
show a tendency toward geocarpy. It is safe to conclude that in L. hinkuensis the
reduction of seed number, increase in seed size, and development of long ...

Genetics and Genomics of the Brassicaceae
Fruits are borne above ground, but geocarpy where the fruit is buried
underground in a peanut-like manner has evolved independently in a handful of
species: e.g., Morisia monanthos (Corsica and Sardinia), Cardamine
chenopodiifolia (South ...

Principles of dispersal in higher plants
Geocarpy The burying near the motherplant of all diaspores (geocarpy) or of a
part of them (amphicarpy) is a very effective method of ensuring atelochory. In the
older literature, where only distant dispersal was considered important, geocarpy
...

Alfalfa and Relatives: Evolution and Classification of Medicago
Geocarpy Medicago hypogaea is the only species in the genus that develops its
seeds underground. According to Lev-Yadun (2000), there are only about 20
known plant species that are completely geocarpic (i.e., producing all their seeds

Foundations of Tropical Forest Biology: Classic Papers with ...
STOPP (1958 b) discussed the geocarpy of Cucumis humi- fructus, apparently
occurring together with other cases of geocarpy in desertlike regions in Africa.
The position has, however, not the character of atelochory, as in the cases
described ...

The critical point in establishment is always germination and the early seedling
stage. These plants have developed the phenomenon of geocarpy, viz. the
bending of the flower stalk actually into the soil, actively burying the still
developing fruit ...
