The Fruit
- The fruit is a characteristic feature of angiosperms (flowering plants).
- It is formed as result of fertilization when ovary ripens and converts into fruit.
- Those fruits that are formed without fertilization are called parthenocarpic fruits.
- Those fruits that develop from ovary along with the other parts of the ovary are called false fruits, e.g., tepals, (e.g., Morus), bracts (e.g., Ananas) or thalamus (e.g., Pyrus).
- The wall of the ovary becomes wall of fruit and is called pericarp.
- In fleshy fruits the pericarp is differentiated into the epicarp, middle mesocarp and inner endocarp, e.g., mango and coconut.
- The fruit of mango and coconut is called drupe.
- In mango, there is a clear distinction of outer epicarp (rind), fleshy mesocarp and thin papery endocarp.
- In coconut, the mesocarp is fibrous.
-
Fleshy mesocarp is the edible portion of the mango.
