BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

An avocado is a bright green fruit with a large pit and dark leathery skin. They’re

also known as alligator pears or butter fruit. Avocados are a favorite of the

produce section. They’re the go-to ingredient for guacamole dips. And they're

turning up in everything from salads and wraps to smoothies and even

brownies.

An Avocado, also called alligator pear, fruit of Persea americana of


the family Lauraceae, a tree native to the Western
Hemisphere from Mexico south to the Andean regions. Avocado
fruits have greenish or yellowish flesh with a buttery consistency and
a rich, nutty flavour. They are often eaten in salads, and in many
parts of the world they are eaten as a dessert. Mashed avocado is the
principal ingredient of guacamole, a characteristic sauce in Mexican
cuisine. Avocados provide thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin A, and in
some varieties the flesh contains as much as 25 percent unsaturated
oil. Avocado trees can be tall or spreading, and they have elliptic to
egg-shaped leaves that are 10–30 cm (4–12 inches) in length. The
small greenish flowers are borne in dense inflorescences and lack true
petals. The flowers have nine stamens, arranged in three series, and a
one-celled ovary. Interestingly, there are two types of avocado
flowers, A and B, depending on the cultivar. These flowers are
dichogamous (male and female parts mature separately), and
each flower opens only twice. Type A flowers are functionally female
in the morning, close at midday, and then reopen as functionally
male in the afternoon of the following day. Type B flowers are
functionally female in the afternoon, close in the evening, and then
reopen the following morning as functionally male. When the two
flower types are grown together, this temporal overlap of mature
male and female parts encourages cross-pollination and, thus, greater
fruit production.
