Figure 2.

Panel A shows a plant with labeled parts: pedicel, fruit, and calyx around the developing fruit. Panel B is a close-up highlighting the proximal pedicel, distal pedicel, and abscission zone.

Physalis grisea (groundcherry) fruit and pedicel morphology. (A) Diagram of an unripe fruit surrounded by a calyx with attachment to the plant by a pedicel. Calyx is cut to show developing fruit inside. (B) Enlarged image of a ripe fruit surrounded by a calyx. The proximal pedicel remains green upon fruit maturation; the distal pedicel simultaneously senesces with the calyx. The abscission zone connects these two regions.
