What type of placentation does pomegranate have?
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 5 months ago

The lower whorl has up to three carpels with axial placentation of the seeds, meaning the placenta tissue from the pericarp is in the middle of the fruit, whereas the upper whorl has up to 6 carpels with parietal placentation, meaning the ovules develop from the outer and lower parts of the carpels.  The white membrane that covers the tops of the seeds is the septum that separates the carpels.  The seeds are embedded in spongy white tissue from the pericarp called placenta, which is structurally very different from the placenta in mammals but serves a similar function.  The septa separate easily from the tops of the seeds, and the seeds are most easily and least messily removed from the pericarp in a bowl of water.  The seeds will sink, and the pericarp will rise.
