Fruit and seed dimorphism in Ae. arabicum. Mature infructescence (a) of Ae. arabicum, showing distinct dehiscent (DEH) and indehiscent (IND) fruit morphs (marked by red arrows). Large DEH fruits (b) contain up to six mucilaginous (M+) seeds, while small IND fruits (c) contain a single, non-mucilaginous (NM) seed. Both seed morphs differ in mean seed mass and moisture content. Values shown are means ± SEM for n = 8 each of 100 seeds (mass), and n = 4 each of 30 seeds (moisture content) replicate measurements. Scale bars = 4 mm (a), 1 mm (b and c). FW, fresh weight
