THE FRUIT WALL AND THE STOMATES

           

          When we conduct an experiment in our PostHarvest I learned that the fruit and fruit vegetables have a fruit wall and different number of stomates . The picture above are the labanos, pinya, patola, camote , ponkan and mustard are represents  the nature of the fruit wall and the numbers of the stomates under the microscope.The fruit wall varys to the effect of the the environment on the organ and its susceptibility to mechanical change , insect and disease means if the fruit wall has damage it will lead to deterioration and entering of the microorganism. In botany, a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, one or more ovaries, and in some cases accessory tissues. Fruits are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. Many of them that bear edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition, respectively; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.Fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings. I observed that there are lot of stomates of petchay and other leafy vegetables under the compound microscope, there are different count of stomates of the different commodities  as I’ved seen . The stomates  is a pore, found in the epidermis of leaves, stems and other organs that is used to control gas exchange. Since the stomates are the main passage way for the loss of water and entry of air for respiration, Stomata, which means "mouths" in Greek, do indeed resemble tiny mouths surrounded by swollen lips. The "lips" are actually individual cells (called guard cells) that can swell up even further to close off the stomata. But why would a plant want to close off its stomata, effectively cutting it off from essential carbon dioxide? Well, plants also need water, and any time that a stoma is open, the plant loses water (along with oxygen, one of the waste products of photosynthesis). By closing the stoma when the plant has enough carbon dioxide, the plant can preserve its water and prevent itself from drying out. I conclude that more stomates the faster its deterioration .The commodity  response to its surrounding and to the method of handling depends on their morphological and anatomical features .
