Tachyspory

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oenothera sp. that experiences tachyspory

Tachyspory is when seeds quickly pop out of a cone or fruit when they're ready, unlike bradyspory, where seeds come out slowly over time. It's a term in plant science for how seeds spread.

The word 'tachy' comes from Greek and means "fast" or "swift".
