Document Summary
So that they don"t explode and have the peas go everywhere. Dehiscent is good for dispersal of seeds for plants but is inconvenient for humans. Staying inside the pod means peas are protected until harvest. They are harder to remove from the pods (compared to rough coat) Wrinkly peas start with a higher water content, then during storage they lose water. Sbe starch branching enzyme to branch the amylopectin to make amylose. When non functional, some sugars converted to sucrose. Round starch content = 75% amylopectin + 25% amylose. Wrinkly starch content = no amylopectin, starch content less, excess glucose converted to sucrose. For the young peas that do not have leaves yet, seedlings. Tomatoes in summer selected for sweetness, tomatoes in winter selected for stamina in storage. Patterns in: flower colour, seed shape, pod shape and colour, position of flower, stem length, embryo colour. Blending theory (red and yellow flower will make a orange flower)
