The Fruit -

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.
