Overview

Correlative analyses show fruit length affects seed number in Ormosia macrocalyx, highlighting seed anatomy and metabolites.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relationship between fruit length and seed number in Ormosia macrocalyx, along with documenting seed anatomy and metabolites.
  • Performed Pearson correlation and principal component analysis (PCA)
  • Applied a linear mixed-effects model (LMM)
  • Examined seed coat and cotyledon anatomy
  • Conducted histochemical tests for secondary metabolites
  • PCA revealed two high correlations and two components
  • LMM indicated that fruit length influences seed number per fruit
  • Seed coats contained macrosclereids and osteosclereids
  • Histochemical tests showed presence of cellulose, condensed tannins, lipids, alkaloids, and proteins
