The fibrous seed coat or hull of most commercial barley varieties is cemented to the caryopsis and is not removed during threshing. |
|
The single-seeded fruit known as a caryopsis consists of the pericarp and testa surrounding the endosperm and the embedded embryo. |
|
A caryopsis was considered germinated when the radicle pierced the seed coat, approximately 10 h after the start of imbibition. |
|
Underneath the protective layers, or integuments, that grower thinner from the outside inwards there is the caryopsis. |
|
For rice, foxtail millet and vetch these were calculated on the basis of presence of caryopsis or cotyledon. |
|
All of the caryopses are round to oval in broad view and scutellum length is less than two-thirds total caryopsis length with broad width. |
|
The colours of the logo are set out in detail in the production specification. At the top of the grains is the tiny gap where the embryo of the rice caryopsis is located before refining. |
|
These are present in the same relative proportions as they exist in the intact caryopsis. |
