Botany

Driving through rural France, I am awe-struck by the beauty of vast sunflower fields. But it got me thinking... how many of them would you need to make a litre of sunflower oil? I'd like to be able to calculate how many bottles of oil one of these fields could represent.

I'm curious as to how we have managed to produce a variety of seeldess grape. Surely the seeds are required for the fruit to grow? Any botanists or biologists out there who can explain how it's done?

The mango tree in my garden is fruiting now. Problem is a lot of the fruit will dropped off while they are still small or crack just before harvest. Why and is there any way to overcome the problem? The tree looks healthy.

The various reproduction methods used by plants, e.g. types of spores, is very complex and hard to remember. Are there nemonics for various plant reproductive cycles?

When I was in elementry school, in Teaneck, NJ about ten years ago we had a playground that was covered in woodchips. Eventually we noticed there was something growing on the ground. I am pretty sure it was some type of fungus but the odd thing was that it moved. Not fast or anything but every few days it would be a little bigger and a few feet from where it had been. I'd say that it was a different growth except we put a tiny inkspot on it and the spot was always there. I seem to remember reading about something similar about a year later in some sort of nature magazine but I can't remember what it was. Eventually more sprouted up and the playground was overhauled and asphalt was placed in response to the fungus. From what I remember it was yellow-grayish color about an inch or so thick and in an undefined shape and about a foot wide in some areas. Also I believe it gave off a sickly smell but I could be wrong about that. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

(We're counting the number of spirals, not the number of seeds in every spiral.)
