Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation The results indicated that chinquapin fruits could be divided into two parts as bur and nut
- Observation The burs of most cultivars bore only one nut while some few bore one to three nuts
- Observation The shapes, sizes and weights of nuts varied from cultivars to cultivars
- Observation Most cultivars of chinquapin shed flowers between late May and early June and then formed young fruits that would gradually grow and develop
- Observation The whole development process could be divided into two stages
- Observation In the early stage before early August, the bur rapidly grew while the increase of nuts' weights declined
- Observation only milky white hairs were seen in 8 to 10 loculi
- Observation only an ovule under development was seen on the top of fruits while the others turned brown
- Observation during the late stage after middle of August, the increase in the volumes of prickly burs slowed down while the weight of single fruit increased rapidly before finally matured
- Observation ovules quickly developed into seeds with disappearing white hairs
- Observation once ovules developed abnormally, the phenomena of 'empty seeded ness' would happen
- Observation The single fruit weight of different varieties varied little in the early stages but significantly different during the late stage
- Observation Most cultivars had closer harvest periods except few ones
- Observation The transverse and vertical development of chinquapin fruits were positively related with the changes of single fruit weights
- Observation The growth and development of chinquapin fruits featured an S-shape curve representing Quick-Slow-Quick trend
