Correct Answer - Option 1 : Liliaceae
The correct answer is Liliaceae.
Concept:
- The gynoecium is classified as monocarpellary, bicarpellary, tricarpellary, or multicarpellary based on the number of carpels.
- When more than one carpel is present, they may be free is called apocarpous. Example: lotus and rose
- When these carpels are fused together the gynoecium is called syncarpous, as in mustard and tomato.
Explanation:
-
Liliaceae-
- It is commonly known as the 'lily family'.
- Gynoecium of Liliaceae family has tricarpellary, syncarpous, trilocular with many ovules, exile placentation with superior ovary.
- Example- Lily, Tulip
-
Poaceae-
- Poaceae family also called Gramineae and grass family of monocotyledonous flowering plants.
- It has monocarpellary ovary.
- Example- Bamboo, Barley
-
Solanaceae –
- It is a larger family, commonly called as the 'potato family'.
- The gynoecium of Solanaceae has bicarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary, bilocular, placenta swollen with many ovules.
- Example- Tomato, Potato
-
Fabaceae-
- This family was earlier called papilionoidae, a sub-family of Leguminosae.
- It has a monocarpellary, superior ovary, unilocular with marginal placentation.
- Example- Green-pea, Soybean
Thus, Tricarpellary syncarpous condition is found in Liliaceae.
