裂开的果实成熟时会裂开，因此释放了里面的种子。利用“模式”植物拟南芥的工作结果，包括操纵创造裂开机制的基因，将进一步了解果实的进化，很可能具有重要的农学意义。
Dehiscent fruits burst open when ripe, so releasing the seeds within. The results of work with the 'model' plant Arabidopsis, involving manipulation of genes that create the machinery for dehiscence, will further knowledge of fruit evolution and may well be of agronomic importance.
