#DidYouKnow 'Open sesame' is actually a real thing? 😃

(Appropriately so, since these small-but-mighty seeds are a nutritional treasure!)

#Sesame seeds are found in four-chambered (locules) capsules, and are dispersed by dehiscence (new word for me!) or 'shattering' - upon maturity, sesame pods split open.

This can be driven by changes in humidity ('hygroscopic movement'), where as moisture in the plant evaporates & the plant dries, it bends and twists, and pods split open.

In sesame pods, initially the capsule splits at the top, creating an opening to each of the four locules. The walls of each locule bend outward, then split and twist as the seed falls from the capsule - and the process keeps accelerating.

As the researchers wrote: 'the non-uniform relative thickness of the layers promotes a graded bi-axial bending, leading to the complex capsule opening movement.'

(Now y'all know why I kept a separate science account! 😄 )

I know this is all pretty nerdy - but I think it's cool (I especially like seed dispersal & germination), and it was the first article I read on 'Awkward Botany' a few years ago, a site of short articles with just enough science to be interesting, but also still approachable, & I wanted to share that. 😊

#DidYouKnow the #Socotra Island in #Yemen ('#Island of Bliss' in #Sanskrit) is known as 'The #Galapagos of the #MiddleEast' & it is estimated that 37% of its 825 plant species do not exist anywhere else in the world. 🤩

The #alien-looking #trees you see here are known as Dragon's Blood because of its crimson sap, used in #medicinal balms and #lipstick.

in 2008 it was recognised as a #UNESCO World Heritage Site & is of 'universal importance because of its #biodiversity with rich and distinct #flora & # fauna'.

A landscape photo meant to look as alien as possible. Trees somewhat resembling very flat mushrooms, with tall trunks, the branches resembling the gills underside a mushroom, and the leaves a very shallow layer on top, are framed and shot through the foliage of red gnarly rugged branches of what seems to be a bush, and with red trumpet-like flowers at the end of them. Very cool-looking and very alien-looking to a Western mindset.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #494: Johnny Cash versus an ostrich.

#johnnycash #themaninblack #musicians #ostriches #ostrich #bigbirds #animalattacks #strangebuttrue #didyouknow #facts #webcomics #comics #uselessfacts #uselessfactsbadlydrawn
Johnny Cash was once nearly killed by an ostrich. Despite defending himself with a 6-foot long stick, Cash broke two ribs and was nearly disemboweled by the huge bird’s claw. Ostriches can reach 9 feet tall and weigh 320 pounds. They can be aggressive, and can easily kill a human (and have). The incident led to his addiction to painkillers and nearly ruined his life.

#DidYouKnow that the East New York Yard features segments of the former BMT Lexington Avenue elevated line, dating back to 1885? Why? Because the BMT Jamaica Line serves stations once constructed for the Lexington Avenue Line.
