Generally, when we eat strawberries, we will find that the seeds on strawberries have red and yellow seeds. Many people don't know what the seeds on strawberries are. In fact, the seeds on strawberries are the seeds of strawberries. Can the seeds on strawberries grow strawberries? Let's have a look!
Is the seed on the strawberry red or yellow
It's light yellow.
The seed on the surface of strawberry is its fruit. Generally speaking, it should be yellow. Local redness is a sign of ripeness. If it is all red, it is likely to be dyed. In addition, strawberries should not be too large. Normal strawberries are naturally heart-shaped and of uniform size. Naturally ripe strawberries are particularly tender, and the skin can be said to be broken by blowing.
Naturally grown and mature strawberries have cash yellow seeds. However, if more than 80% of the whole strawberries have red seeds, it is necessary to be cautious about ripening or dyeing. Moreover, the red seeds have a soft and rotten taste, so when selecting strawberries, try to choose the golden ones. Also, the seeds of healthy strawberries are embedded in the fruit, not floating on the surface.
Strawberry seeds are spirally arranged on the pulp, which is called achene in botany. The seeds are long conic, yellow or yellow green. Different varieties of seeds have different embedded depth on the surface of berry, or they are equal to or protrude from the fruit surface. Generally speaking, the more seeds on berries, the more evenly distributed, the better fruit development. The germination power of strawberry seeds is generally 2-3 years. Generally, seeds are not used for propagation in production, because the characters of the progeny of seedlings propagated by seeds are seriously separated. It is difficult to maintain the original good characters of the mother plant. Strawberries are usually propagated by plants.
Can the seeds on strawberries produce strawberries
Theoretically speaking, it is OK, but because the seed belongs to sexual reproduction, after hybridization, the good characteristics of mutual aid will be differentiated, so it may appear small, unsweetened, deformed, etc., so in production, it is generally used to separate the seedlings from the stolon or the virus-free seedlings cultured in tissue, the offspring of asexual reproduction, the bad characteristics will be continued. In addition to strawberries, there are also fruits such as pitaya, kiwifruit, banana, etc. in production, their seeds are not used to cultivate offspring.
Modern crops have been improved by crossbreeding technology. Seeding with their own seeds will lead to the degradation of the characters to the male parent.
1. The seed germination rate and seedling rate are low, and the process steps are many, and the economy is very low. Character degradation will lead to poor quality. If you simply appreciate the process from seed to fruit, I also like you very much. According to experience, it will take about 7 months for strawberry seeds to be sown and the first strawberry to be eaten in the mouth.
2. General propagation method: strawberry grows stolon in the growth process, which is equivalent to a small strawberry seedling. The nutrition is provided by the mother plant, and it can be seeded separately after it is thick. Because it is asexual propagation, the plant genetic gene does not change, and the quality is stable. The stolon can get more nutrients from its mother before it is divided into two parts. After it is planted, it grows vigorously, the survival rate is much higher and the economic value is better.
Tips for strawberry cleaning
The reason why strawberries are difficult to clean is that their appearance is rough and their skin is very thin, so they break when washed. Therefore, in order to make it simple and convenient, most people simply wash it with water and eat it. Or, in fact, most people don't know how to clean strawberries properly.
In fact, strawberries belong to herbaceous plants, the plants are relatively low, the fruits are tender and juicy, which make them vulnerable to diseases, insect pests and microorganisms. Therefore, in the process of planting strawberries, we should often use pesticides. These pesticides, fertilizers and pathogens are easy to adhere to the rough surface of strawberry. If they are not cleaned clean, it is likely to cause diarrhea or even pesticide poisoning.
1. To wash strawberries, it's best to wash them with tap water. The flowing water can prevent pesticides from seeping into the fruits. In addition, wash strawberries as far as possible to avoid rubbing with hands, resulting in the breakdown of strawberry skin loss of nutrients.
2. When washing strawberries, be careful not to take off the strawberries. Many people are used to washing strawberries. It is not correct to remove the leaves of strawberries and soak them in water for 5 minutes. Once the strawberry leaves are removed and soaked in water, a large number of pesticide residues on the surface of the strawberry will dissolve with the water, which may cause the pesticide to enter the heart of the strawberry through the water flow, but will bring more pollution.
