EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the exquisite details of a Morelle tomate, or common tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a beloved edible plant belonging to the Solanaceae family and the Solanales order. As a member of the Angiospermae, or flowering plants, this eudicot exhibits many distinctive features, including its juicy, red, and round fruits that are adored in gardens and kitchens around the world. The tomato plant is an angiosperm, a type of seed-bearing plant that produces enclosed seeds. As a dicot, it possesses two cotyledons, or seed leaves, which can be seen in the embryo of the seed depicted in the illustration. The tomato is also an asterid, a subclass of the asterids clade within the asterids superorder. The illustration reveals the intricate structure of the tomato flower, which is characterized by its five-lobed corolla and numerous stamens. The tomato is a self-pollinating plant, meaning it relies on wind and insects to transfer pollen from the anthers to the stigma for fertilization. The tomato is a vital component of the Solanaceae family, which also includes other well-known plants such as potatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers. This illustration serves as a testament to the botanical beauty and intricacy of the tomato plant, offering a glimpse into its fascinating biology and the role it plays within the diverse world of angiosperms.
