Add a definition
When the oblong-ellipsoid acorn reaches maturity, it acquires a brown to reddish colour and becomes detached from thecupule, so falling to the ground.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, when it falls to the ground thecupuleis lost and the fruit is susceptible to increased water loss.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The pericarp surface corresponding to thecupuleis rough textured, grey and increasingly thickened from the edges to the centre.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, it is possible that the overallcupule-acorn system is particularly adapted to preventing water loss when the fruit is on the tree.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Two zones presenting morphological and micromorphological differences were identified: an area including the point of attachment to thecupuleand an apical zone covering the embryo.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Coating of the area of thecupulewith waxes or resins might lead to a reduction in water loss, but may also impede gaseous exchange during storage.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It usually contains a single seed (rarely two seeds), enclosed in a tough, leathery shell, and borne in a cup-shapedcupule.
