The study aimed to observe the internal structure of coconuts from two locations (coastal and non-coastal) using computed tomography (CT).
Seventy-six mature coconuts were collected from Wenchang and Ding'an cities in Hainan Province. These coconuts were scanned four times using CT, with a two-week interval between each scan. CT data were post-processed to reconstruct two-dimensional slices and three-dimensional models. The density and morphological parameters of coconut structures were measured, and the differences in these characteristics between the two groups and the changes over time were analyzed.
Time and location had interactive effects on CT values of embryos, solid endosperms and mesocarps, morphological information such as major axis of coconut, thickness of mesocarp, volume of coconut water and height of bud ( < 0.05).
Planting location and observation time can affect the density and morphology of some coconut structures.
本研究旨在利用计算机断层扫描(CT)观察来自两个地点(沿海和非沿海)的椰子内部结构。
从海南省文昌市和定安县采集了 76 个成熟椰子。这些椰子用 CT 扫描了四次,每次扫描间隔两周。对 CT 数据进行后处理以重建二维切片和三维模型。测量椰子结构的密度和形态参数,并分析两组之间这些特征的差异以及随时间的变化。
时间和地点对胚、固体胚乳和中果皮的 CT 值、椰子的主轴、中果皮厚度、椰子水体积和芽高的形态信息等有交互作用(<0.05)。
种植地点和观察时间会影响一些椰子结构的密度和形态。
