A physical photo of cut coconut and three computed tomography multiplanar reformation images of different coconuts.
Fig 3.
Different volume rendering models for displaying the overall condition of the coconuts in the first scan.
(a) The exocarp of the coconut, with a coconut sprout visible on the exocarp (red triangle). (b) The endocarp of coconuts, bud merged from the largest pore (red asterisk).
Fig 4.
Different volume rendering models for displaying different structures on one coconut: Exocarp, mesocarp, endocarp, coconut apple, endosperm, and buds.
Fig 5.
The structure of two coconuts (a, b).
The multiplanar reformation on the left column show embryo, bud and coconut apples inside the coconut cavity. In the middle and right column, three pores on the surface of the endocarp and embryos sprouting from the largest pore.
