The members of Asteraceae produce a type of fruit called an achene, which is dry and single-seeded and does not open at maturity. The apparent seeds of the sunflower, for example, are …

Bidens pilosa (Asteraceae), a noxious weed in many ecosystems worldwide, produces large amounts of heteromorphic (central and peripheral) achenes. The primary aims of the present …

The family Asteraceae is a large family of flowering plants with over 25,000 species and 1620 genera (Stevens 2001). Asteraceae species can be found in all continental zones and they …

When you hear the word achene, you may think of the seeds of sunflowers. Although many botanical works still refer to the fruits of Asteraceae (commonly called the aster, composite, …
