fruits

outer skin

fleshy, edible part

inner stony

portion of the ovary wall

ovary develops into fruits without any non-carpellary part

in addition tovthe ovary and the non-carpellary parts like thalamus, perianth and involucre and perianth develops into fruit

development of fruits without fertilization/ seedless fruits

formed from a single ovary which may contain more than one seed

formed from a number of ovaries in one flower fusing into a single fruit

formed from several flowers habing ovaries fused into a single fruit

simple fruit: a single ripened ovary from a single flower, all of most of the ovary wall(pericarp) is soft at maturity

Simple:Fleshy: exocarp is thin skin/ leathery/ hard skin

berries examples

balausta example

simple: fleshy: fruit develops from multicarpellary, syncarpous, multi-chambered superior ovary, epicarp is hard, mesocarp and endocarp are fleshy on which scattered numerous seeds are found

amphisarca example

pericarp is dry at maturity

split open at maturity

remain closed at maturity, usually contain one seed

simple:dry: dehiscent: composed of one carpel with marginal placentation, fruit dehisces by both sutures

legumes examples

simple:dry: dehiscent: fruit dehisces by one suture

follicle examples

simple:dry: dehiscent: separated by a seed-bearing septum, fruit dehisces from below to upwards

siliqua examples

simple: dry: dehiscent: similar to siliqua but its width and length are equal

silicula examples

simple: dry: dehiscent: composed of several fused carpels, carpels may separate along the septa or along the locules between the septa, some dehisces by a lid that falls off exposing the seeds, some dehisces by small apical pores

Simple: dry: indehiscent: very small one-seeded fruit, usually produced in clusters, pericarp does not fuse with the seed coat

achene examples

simple: dry: indehiscent: pericarp fused with seed coat, one-seeded fruit

caryopsis examples

simple: dry: dehiscent: persistent hairy calyx are found at the aapex of the fruit

simple: dry: indehiscent : develops from multiple carpels w superior ovary, larger, one seeded frruit, pericarp becomes hard and stoney, usually enclosed in a husk or cup-like involucre

nut examples

simple: dry: indehiscent: small winged one-seeded fruit, pericarp becomes flat-like wings, usually produced in clusters on trees

samara examples
