Chapter 300 The Changing Gender (Subscribe)

"Yeah, it can be eaten, used as medicine, and made into beams. Whether it's Chinese toon or Ailanthus sinensis, they are all very powerful!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Well, indeed, whether it's Chinese toon or Ailanthus sinensis, these two trees are very popular in the countryside."

"And this Ailanthus is used to make house beams. It is said that after the Ailanthus tree is put on the beams, if the owner finds out that the Ailanthus tree is used, it means that the women in the house will be the masters in the future."

"If it is found to be a male Ailanthus tree, it proves that the house will be headed by a man in the future."

"And after the toon tree is put on the beam of the house, there should be a record next to it, such as 'what year, month, day, and who built the house, etc. After the house was built, Ding Changsheng, who has a prosperous family, will remember it'."

"This is also a kind of expectation for the owner of this house in the future. I hope that the owner's family can prosper, live forever, and be happy."

Studio.

"Trees, are there male and female?"

"The female toon tree and the male toon tree? This is the first time I've heard such a saying."

"It sounds interesting!"

"What's the point? I see, this is superstition!"

"It's just a tree, and it's not a creature with a brain. How can it be divided into male and female?"

"Anchor, are you kidding us?"

"Do you understand? Trees are originally divided into male and female."

"The anchor is right. From a biological point of view, plants are divided into male and female, that is, male and female. Have you heard of female flowers?"

Li Yuan nodded and explained with a smile: "This netizen is right. Trees, flowers and plants are divided into male and female, that is, male and female, and the toon tree is one of them."

"It's just...not all plants have male and female."

"Trees are mainly divided into three types, monoecious, dioecious and polygamous, and only dioecious trees are divided into sexes."

"According to what the netizen just said, flowers are divided into pistils and stamens, and some flowers only have pistils, which are called female flowers. Some flowers only have stamens, which we call male flowers."

"There is another situation, that is, a flower has both pistil and stamen, and this kind of flower is also called bisexual flower."

"And in dioecious trees, the female tree has only female flowers, while the male tree has only male flowers. Only dioecious trees are divided into sexes. In dioecious plants, the ones with female flowers are the females. A tree with male flowers is a male tree.”

"And among such trees, only female trees can bear fruit."

"And judging whether a flower can develop into a fruit depends on whether it has an ovary that develops into a fruit. The female tree has an ovary in its flower, but the male tree does not have an ovary in it, so it cannot develop into fruit."

Studio.

"Really?"

"That sounds interesting."

"So, the toon tree is a tree divided into male and female?"

"I see. Is corn divided into male and female?"

"That's right, that's right, I've heard of this. It seems that the mature corn with beards is the female flower, and the other kind of flowering corn is the male flower! Am I right, the anchor?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, indeed, that's how male and female corn are distinguished."

"This kind of plant with separate male and female flowers on one plant is called a monoecious plant. Although ginkgo, willow, pistachio, etc. are also dioecious, their male and female flowers do not grow on the same tree. Above, such plants are called dioecious plants."

"It's just interesting that plants don't necessarily only have male and female differences. In recent years, some botanists have discovered a plant that can change sex in the plant kingdom."

Studio.

"Damn, sex change?!"

"Gender change? Plants can also change sex?"

"Is it the same as the legendary merman, who can choose their gender?"

"Wow, isn't this so cool?!"

"Is it so happy to be a plant now? Can you choose your own gender?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, the amazing thing is that this plant can not only change sex, but also change sex many times in its short life."

Studio.

"What kind of plant is it?!"

"It's so cool! Anchor, please tell us, what kind of plant is this?"

"Wow, isn't this too powerful?"

"???"

"It's amazing, what kind of plant is it?"

"I know this! This plant was mentioned in the biology textbook, I remember... it seems to be called Indian Arisa!"

Li Yuan: "That's right, it's the Indian star."

"This kind of plant is tall, and the plant is also very strong. It is rich in nutrients, but after it has gone through the flowering process, it will consume a lot of nutrients in the body, so in the second year, it will become A small male plant."

"What's amazing is that once the nutrient storage of this Indian star is sufficient, it will become a female plant again and continue to reproduce."

Studio.

"Wow, that's cool!"

"It seems that Tian Nan Xing still loves her female status for ten minutes, otherwise why would she keep changing?"

"I actually think... this Indian Tiannanxing is a bit pitiful."

"I don't know if it's pitiful or not, but Nan Xing is really busy today."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I have to change my gender every once in a while. It's really busy."

"Why do I feel that what the anchor said is so mysterious? Is it fake? Anyway, I don't really believe that such a thing will happen..."

"I don't believe it either."

"Don't believe me? Brother, go back to junior high school and take a biology class. I'm too embarrassed to say you."

Li Yuan: "The so-called trees have males and females, and flowers are divided into males and females. I know some people may not believe it, but...whether you believe it or not, it is true."

"Leaving aside, I can give you a few trees that you can often see, such as poplars and willows that are planted in many urban greenings."

"Presumably, many trees in the south have sprouted now, and catkins will fly on the road after a while."

"Even in the colder north, it should be the season for catkins to fly in two months."

"I can tell you that the ones that can fly willow catkins are female trees, and the ones without catkins are male trees. And in many areas every spring, poplar catkins are likely to be because there are too many female trees."

"It's also like some crops that are often planted in the yard, such as cucumbers. The male flowers of cucumbers will not bear fruit, but the female flowers of cucumbers will bear fruit."

Studio.

"And...the cucumber seedlings that don't produce cucumbers?"

"You planted cucumbers, but they still haven't produced fruit?"

"That's amazing, isn't it?"

"seriously?"

"As an authentic countryman, there are indeed many fruitless cucumbers."
