The Origin of Banana
Banana is a fruit that comes from Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. Now, this plant has spread throughout the world, including Indonesia. Long-shaped fruit is highly favored by all levels of society. The Latin name of bananas are Musa sapientum. Almost all viretas bananas can be consumed, but most terkenan in our
society is the type of banana, king, kepok, mas banana, banana milk and
bananas sere.
Banana Botany properties
Bananas are quasi-trunked shrub (pseudostem). Banana tree height varies between 1-4 meters depending on varieties. These plants are merumpun (growing seedlings). Each plant fruit only once, after the death (monokarpik)
A. The leaves and stems
Banana tree leaves are wide and long, with large leaves bones. Banana leaves are easily torn because on the edge of the leaf does not have a compact bond. Tuberous stem (corm, tuber) are large and have buds that can grow into a shoot number (sucker).
B. Flowers
Banana trees have a single flower. Flowers come out at the end of the stem and bloom only once during their lifetime (monokarpik). Banana flower is called the heart. This banana heart is dark red, but there are also yellow and purple. Each heart is composed of one or more ovaries (comb). Each comb is protected by a leaf sheath. The flowers are perfect, but at the end of flowering generally manly heart. Sheath one by one bloom and looked comb. The tip of the heart does not bloom, left heart.
C. FruitBanana flower cross-pollinated by insect pollinators, but generally not too fertile pollen. Therefore, many bananas that do not have seeds (Parthenocarpy). Type bananas for fresh consumption because no seeds tripled the number of chromosomes (3n) called triploid. Bananas table with seeds (diploid) is banana stone (kluthuk) and a little seed and kepok siem bananas.
D. Root
Banana plant has a kind of root fibers are very much but soft textured. So easy to collapse

The Origin pf Poneapple
Pineapple is one of the fruits that we encounter familiar in our society. Yellow fleshy fruit is native to South America namely Argentina, Brazil and Peru. A Portuguese explorer named Ferdinand Maghelhans first discovered the pineapple in the area of Brazil in 1519. The Latin name for this unique fruit of Ananas comosus is in English while pineapple called Peneapple derived from the pine-cone (seeds or cones) because its shape is similar to the seed pine trees. This fruit from South America spread to the Caribbean Islands, southern Mexico and Central America. Then pineapple began to penetrate the European market through the UK in 1555, before moving to Asia. In Indonesia pineapple was first entered into the island of Java and Sumatra by the Spanish and Portuguese sailors. Now the area is famous for the cultivation of pineapple in Indonesia is Palembang, Subang, Riau and Bogor.Botany properties Pineapple
Pineapple is a type of grass that has a short stem. And including monocotyledonous plants and nature merumpun (sprouted seedlings)
Botany properties Pineapple
A. The leaves and branches
Pineapple leaves are long, parallel veined and on the edges of the leaves are thorns overlooking the leaf tip. In some varieties of pineapple prickly spines rarely but for which there is at the tip of the leaves remain. Pineapple leaves appear and accumulate at the base of the stem. On the stem grows a stalk flowers and often sprout. Buds on the stem is called a sucker, while the buds on fruit stalk called slips.
B. Flowers
Pineapple plants flowering at the end of the stem and bloom only once, which is directed straight to the top. Actually, pineapple flower is plural and consists of more than 200 non-stemmed flowers. Location of flowers sitting upright on the main stem of the fruit and then expand into a compound that is good to eat.
Leaf petals of each flower, known as the eyes, still clearly left their mark on the fruit. Pineapple flowers included in the category of perfect flower has three petals (sepalum), three crowns (petalum) six stamens and a pistil with a three-pronged stigma.
Pineapple plants cross-pollinated by the hand of birds chirping or a singer and bees. Pineapple plant actually is not seasonal, but can bloom at any time. However, there is a tendency that the cold temperatures, especially night temperatures with low sunlight, can stimulate flowering of pineapple plants.
C. Fruit
Pineapple is a fruit compound called sinkarpik or coenacarpium. At the top of the fruit grows short leaf leaves arranged as a helical called crown (crown).
D. Root
This plant roots contain enough fiber and water. Shallow roots and widespread.
Origin of Mangosteen
Mangosteen comes from the Malay Peninsula. Germplasm resource centers in Malaysia and East Kalimantan. Endemic area includes Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and Filifina.

B. FlowersFlowers are large. Thick petals consists of four strands and green. Short pistil, will be a big round fruit and green. 4-8 branched stigma that remains attached to the end of the fruit.
C. FruitRipe fruit maroon with former blackish-red anthers. All parts of the plants are still young gummy yellowish. The fruit has the same segments 4-8 with many branches of the stigma. However, that became the seeds are large, generally only 1-3 pieces. Seeds are formed without going through pollination because it has no pollen (pollen), sex rudimentary. Each seed covered with flesh which is arilod (tissue lining of seeds) white clean and fresh taste. Each segment has a large seed. Each segment has the potential to grow (poliembrioni vegetative) taproot and leaves. Seeds Apomixis occur from three kinds of cells, which are as follows. 1. haploid egg cell tuck themselves into diploid. In addition, diploid egg cell because the parent tetraploid or diploid egg cell tuck themselves into tetraploid. 2. Cells polar (cell fusion) are diploid or tetraploid, depending on the parent 3. Cells integument that encloses the seeds (nucellus) are diploid or tetraploid, depending on the parent.
D. RootMangosteen has a taproot and root of all the small side, but within.

B. Flowers
Flowers monoecious two, but some are monoecious (hermaphroditic). Male plants have only stamens (staminate) alone without showing the pistil (pistil). In flowering plants that are perfect there are females and males. However, on the other monoecious plants, both flowers genital functioning normally. The flowers are generally contained in the cluster out at the ends of branches and stand upright. Thus, from the outside it looks nice on the leaf canopy. Flowers and fruit aromatic vulnerable specific so his bat. Typically, cross-pollinated flowers with intermediaries honeybees, ants and flies. Longan farmers generally use the land under litchi crop to maintain honey bees in the hive (Glodok) to take honey. Once flowering plants, usually in the month of August to October. Ripe fruit four months after the flowers bloom.
C. Fruit

The Origin of Mango
Ingredients and Benefits of Mango
1. Carbohydrates
Although the mango has a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and flavors, but in terms of nutritional content, everything is almost not much different. The water content in fresh ripe mango approximately 82%, 73 Kal calories per 100gram and vitamin C at 41 mg. While the young mango, 100gram each containing approximately 84% water, calories by 66 cal and levels of vitamin C is 65 mg.
The sweet taste of mango is derived from sugar (sucrose) which they contain, ranging from 7-12%. But for some varieties of mango, sugar content can reach 16-18%.
2. Antioxidants
Some studies show that mango is the source of a-carotene. Beta-carotene is a substance in the body is converted into vitamin A. Beta-carotene include antioxidants, ie compounds capable of providing protection against cancer because it can neutralize free radicals.
Experts believe the mango is a source karoteoid called beta crytoxanthin, namely cancer destroyer of good material.
3. Vitamins
The content of vitamins with the highest levels in mango fruit is Vitamin C. Vitamin V serves to maintain healthy teeth and gums, as well as increasing the capillary activity. In another context, Vitamin C helps iron absorption and inhibit the production of natrosamin (cancer-triggering substances). Vitamin C is also involved in accelerating wound healing. Each 100 grams of ripe mango contains vitamin C is 41 mg, young mango even up to 65 mg.
4. Potassium
In the mango fruit also contains potassium levels high enough that the 100 grams of mango contains 189 mg of potassium. By eating mango harumanis small size (250 grams) or mango gedong medium size, then the need for potassium 400 mg per day can be met.
Potassium serves to maintain the regularity of the heart rate, it is important for muscle contraction and maintain blood pressure. Potassium is also antagonistic to the sodium, which by consuming sufficient amount of potassium, it can reduce the effect of sodium on blood pressure because sodium can increase blood pressure.
Potassium also contributed to the decrease in the risk of stroke. A study shows that if someone adds a piece of fruit is high in potassium into their daily diet, the risk of stroke can be reduced by 40%.
A mango contains 7 grams of fiber / fibers that can help the digestive system (as well as gallic acid). Most of the fiber is soluble in water and can maintain cholesterol levels that are within normal limits.
Riboflavin contained in mango also good for the health of the eyes, mouth and throat. In addition, the mango has several pharmacological effects, such that some substances contained in the mango is pengelat (adstringensia), laxative urine (diuretic), a mild laxative, sputum, toners and appetite enhancer.
Based on empirical experience mango has efficacy in curing various diseases; such as airway inflammation, flu symptoms, disorders englihatan, gum bleeding and inflammation of the skin.
Special dermatitis, skin mango can be used as an herb to help reduce the inflammation process. The potion is made by boiling 150 grams of mango skin to educate. Water boiled mango skin is then used to wash the skin of experiencing pain or inflammation. This herb can also be used to treat eczema.

The Origin of Avocado
The nature of Botany
Avocado is a plant hutanyang able to grow to a height of 20 meters. Has a woody trees and figure like the dome so that from a distance looks interesting.
A. Leaves and Stems
The leaves are long (oval) arranged like Gyre, centered on the end of the branch. Generally have sparse branches and horizontal direction. The wood is hard and not gummy.
B. Flowers
Avocado flowers out at the ends of branches or twigs in a long stalk. The flowers are perfect in the flower pistil and stamens but the bloom is not in unison.Color white flowers, each flower blooms twice. Type the morning-afternoon (A) first blooming morning (anthesis), then during the day began to close, and bloom again in the late afternoon the next day. Type the early afternoon (B) first blooming afternoon (anthesis), then closes at dusk and bloom again the morning of the next day. All the flowers in the evening closes and when the first bloom stigma mature (receptive) first. Meanwhile, when the next bloom is mature pollen. As a result of these properties in one area then there is only one types of avocados will be difficult to cross-pollination that fruit production will be low. Such events are called synchronous diurnal dichogamy proterogynous complementer.
In the highlands where the temperature 5-15 degrees Celsius, nature flowers that bloom twice will disappear and only bloom once more perfect so that pollinate flowers. Therefore, in the highlands of avocado plants more productive because of the pistil and pollen mature at the same time.Color white flowers, each flower blooms twice. Type the morning-afternoon (A) first blooming morning (anthesis), then during the day began to close, and bloom again in the late afternoon the next day. Type the early afternoon (B) first blooming afternoon (anthesis), then closes at dusk and bloom again the morning of the next day. All the flowers in the evening closes and when the first bloom stigma mature (receptive) first. Meanwhile, when the next bloom is mature pollen. As a result of these properties in one area then there is only one types of avocados will be difficult to cross-pollination that fruit production will be low. Such events are called synchronous diurnal dichogamy proterogynous complementer.

The Origin of orange
Citrus fruit from Asia, namely India, Indonesia, China, but for some types also come from Florida, Australia and Caledonia. However, citrus plants can now be found throughout the world. Oranges have many species of six genera.
1. Citrus2. Microcitrus3. Fortunella4. Poncirus5. Cymedia6. Eremocirus.
Of the six genera in the top of the most famous is the Citrus, Fortunella and Poncitrus. However, that has high economic value just Citrus. Famous citrus species are as follows.Oranges Tangerines, including the famous tangerine or mandarin oranges name.Sweet orange, including the Washington Navel orange Orange called Orange. Citrus varieties including orange, sour orange is called tannin or acid orange.Large orange or extending orange rolls. Type which includes a large orange is orange gods or pomeloLime is commonly called the lemon skin can not be peeled. Citrus fruits are usually for drinks.Including citrus lime sauce, skin can not be peeled.Ponsil orange-leaved three three.
Citrus species are important, despite the low economic value of RL is orange, Citrus JC, Ponsil orange, orange and orange uwik tanim. This is because it can be used for citrus rootstock (rootstock) in citrus propagation.
In Indonesia, tangerines and Siamese plants are in Garut, Tawangmangu, Madura, West Sumatra and West Kalimantan. While a large orange or pompel moes are in Sumedang, Madison and Pacitan.
Sweet Citrus probably derived from the border areas of China and Vietnam. Sweet orange has now spread throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
Botanical nature Oranges
Basically there are three groups of Orange namely,1. Group Mandarin fruit skin easy to peel2. Group Orange fruit skin can be peeled with the aid of3. Group lemon fruit skin can not be peeled at all because of the inherent united with the flesh of the fruit.
A. Leaf and Stem Orange
The leaves are seated facing each other one-on-one, except that there are three classes of Poncirus-three (trifoliata). Specific scented leaves because they contain essential oils. Lime leaves no winged (Group citrus aurantium) and there are no winged (orange group Medica). Large orange and grapefruit daunya gods wide, thick, somewhat stiff and always winged.
Citrus plants branched and hard. Branch generally horizontal direction, but some are inclined upwards. There is a sharp thorny branches and some are not barbed. Poncirus group barbed big, long, and sharp.
All sweet orange has specific characteristics, namely broadleaf, thick, and generally leaves winged. Child leaves a fairly wide at the base and dark green. Orange tree has many branches in the direction of growth tend upwards.
B. Flowers
Orange flowers out after formed Poster (young shoots) at the ends of the branches are staying. White flower color, in the end bercanggap like star. The flowers are perfect pistil and stamens. The aroma of fragrant flowers that attract bees.
This plant can bloom throughout the year as long as the condition of the ecosystem qualify flowering. But in general, orange flowering after a dry season of 3-4 months.
C. Fruit
Fruits mature 4-6 months after flowering, usually occurs in May-June. For large orange, the main fruit in season from June to September. Citrus fruit and bark relatively seedy fruit contains many essential oils. Generally, citrus seed is poliembrioni, ie, every seed grows more than one bud, one of the other of the embryo and seed coat (nucellus).
Citrus fruits are round to oval generally. Papaya and lime citrus fruit oval shape. Large sweet orange and grapefruit have a thick skin and rather difficult to peel.
D. Root
Invitation orange plant roots symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi, particularly in an uptake of phosphate. This plant has a taproot and root strong side and within reach 3 meters.
Ingredients and benefits of grapes
Grapes contain several chemical substances, one of which is a flavonoid. Flavonoids are phytochemical compounds that can prevent the oxidation of LDL (bad cholesterol). Flavonoids also give the color purple in grapes. Flavonoids strength in wine 20 times greater than vitamin E (a natural antioxidant).
Grapes also contain water-soluble fiber (water soluble fibers) high levels useful for lowering cholesterol.
An Italian study also shows the content of wine melatonin, a hormone that is known to help regulate the human biological clock. The hormone melatonin is generally secreted at night, causing people asleep. Melatonin is also effective to treat hypertension. A study by Frank Scheer from Harvard Medical School proves that men who get the intake of melatonin for three weeks will experience a decrease in systolic blood pressure significantly.Wednesday 20:32Wine can also prevent pain from breast cancer therapy. While some doctors of the Institute of Cancer Research proves that the antioxidants in wine may protect the body from radiation fibrosis, the hardening of the tissue around the breast as a result of radiotherapy that cause pain.
Research by Sihuan Chen from Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope, reported that grape juice may suppress the growth of cancer cells by preventing the synthesis of the hormone estrogen plays a major role in the development of breast cancer.
Vitamin C and antioxidants in grapes are able to keep the skin to stay healthy, because it can counteract free radicals, such as pollution and sunlight. Vitamin C is important in the process of making kalogen, fat transport, electron transport from various enzymatic reactions, setting the level of cholesterol, as well as in immunity. In addition, vitamin C is required in wound healing and improve brain function.
Besides meat, grape seed is also beneficial for the body because it contains psynogenol, namely collagen boosters to the flexibility of blood vessels. While the skin is rich in flavonoids substances that act as antioxidants.
The origin of Apple
Apple trees can grow up to 10 meters, but is now mostly shaped like a shrub pruned shrub with a height of only 2 to 3 meters.
Botanical nature Apples
A. Leaves and Stems
Leaves of apple trees is a single leaf, brushy and circular spread along the branch. Leaves oblong shape with a pointed tip. Light green leaf color. The tree has a little branch. And branches tend upward direction. Having hardwood and easily pliable.
B. Flowers
The apple tree has a single or clustered flowers are white clean. Flowers come out at the end of the generative shoots (shoots blunt) that grow from each eye at each branch segment. Naturally, these plants bloom only once a year after a drought. The flowers are grown with cross-pollination by bees and green flies.
C. Fruit
Apples are round to oval, hard but crisp, and has a moisture content less. When the fruit is old, there is a red color, yellow, and green. Apples have a little seed and small so that the fruit is dominated by meat.
D. Root
These plants include the owner taproot and root side is not too much. Type of apple tree root is a root that extends deep into and strong. So this tree include strong and not easily broken down by the wind or shock
