Garden pea (Pisum sativum) in flower
Numéro d’image : 11731366
| A garden pea plant,Pisum sativum,in flower. The picture shows a flower (white) and a developing pod (below,left). The picture was taken after a rain shower,and shows droplets of water adhering to the water-repellent waxy coating on the epidermis of the plant. Water has a high surface tension,encouraging the formation of spherical droplets,a low-energy shape that minimises surface area for a given volume of liquid.Pea flowers enclose the reproductive tissues within a flower that has only one plane of symmetry (zygomorphic ). Such a structure usually indicates that the flower is pollinated by insects. Although insects do visit the flowers of peas,they are not necessary to ensure a crop in commercial cultivars,which have long been selected to be self-pollinating. Peas therefore represent a crop whose performance is of little concern in the face of a fall in bee populations | |
