Goose Grass Seed Dispersal: The Role of Elaiosomes

Seeds of goose grass have structures called elaiosomes.

An elaiosome is a small, fleshy or oily appendage found on some seeds. It serves to attract animals, such as ants, which disperse the seeds. Ants are the primary dispersers of goose grass seeds. Ants are attracted to the elaiosome and harvest the seeds. The seeds are then transported to the ants' nest, where they can germinate.
