Garside's rule: in pollen grains with three, equidistant polar apertures and which occur in tetrahedral tetrads, these apertures are in radial positions so meeting at points where three grains are in contact, i.e. there are four groups of three apertures. This is the uncommon arrangement, cf. Fisher's rule.
.
genus: a group of species ideally hypothesised to be monophyletic (or a single species), and morphologically distinguishable from other genera; the major rank in the taxonomic hierarchy between species and family, pl. genera, cf. also class, order.
.
geocarpy: when the fruit matures underground, whether the flower is initially above ground (Arachis) or not (Rhizanthella), see also amphicarpy, heterocarpy.
.
globose: a general pollen shape descriptor, a grain with the equatorial axes all about the same length (the equatorial outline is usually more or less circular, sometimes triangular, lobed, etc. - see amb) and the polar axis is a prominent axis of rotation, cf. boat-shaped, see oblate, prolate, spherical, the main variants of globose pollen.

Glucose:[50-99-7] a 6-carbon sugar which plays a major role in the generation of energy for living organisms, a hexose sugar forming a six-membered ring, cf. fructose, in the alpha form with the -OH group at the C1 position below the plane of the molecule, and in the Beta form with the -OH group at the C1 position above the plane of the molecule, see callose, cellulose, hemicellulose, inulin, pectin, starch, cf. lignin..

Note:D-Glucose. A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.
glucosides: a glycoside in which the sugar constituent is glucose (originally the term glucoside was used whatever the sugar involved).a glycoside that contains glucose as its carbohydrate (sugar) moiety.
.
gymnosperm: a seed-bearing plant with the ovules borne on the margins or surface of a sporophyll and not enclosed by fusion of the sporophyllar tissue, cf. angiosperm.
