Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Goosegrass fruit, SEM
Goosegrass fruit. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the hooked fruit of a goosegrass plant (Galium aparine). The hooks become lodged in the fur of passing animals, ensuring that the plants seeds, which are held in the fruit, are well dispersed before germination. Goosegrass is an annual weed that is native to Eurasia. Magnification: x38 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a goosegrass fruit, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The hooked structure of the fruit is clearly visible, designed to latch onto passing animals' fur. This clever adaptation ensures that the plant's seeds, nestled within the fruit, are effectively dispersed before germination. Goosegrass, scientifically known as Galium aparine, is an annual weed native to Eurasia. Its sticky and adhesive hooks play a crucial role in its reproductive strategy. As unsuspecting animals brush against this plant's fruits during their travels, they unknowingly carry these tiny hitchhikers with them. This process guarantees widespread dispersal of the seeds across various locations. The SEM image magnifies this botanical wonder by 38 times at a size of 6x7cm. Every detail on the surface of the fruit becomes vividly apparent under such high resolution. From its reproductive function to its unique structure and nature as an annual weed, this photograph offers insights into both botany enthusiasts and researchers alike. Through this mesmerizing image from Science Photo Library's collection, we gain appreciation for nature's ingenuity in creating mechanisms like these hooks for efficient seed dispersal. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant plants can possess remarkable adaptations essential for their survival and propagation in our diverse ecosystem.
