Fruit Morphology
What actually is a fruit? A fruit is a ripened ovary (=a mature ovary) of a flower along with any adnate parts. What is a seed? - A seed is a baby in a box with its lunch. - Specifically, it is a ripened (fertilized) ovule containing an embryo within a seed coat (protective covering), and oft en has additional storage tissues (food reserves).
FLOWER ovary ovary wall ovule integuments zygote fusion nucleus funiculus Note: orange is empty space FRUIT fruit pericarp (the fruit wall) seed seed coat embryo endosperm seed stalk Remember! The egg and one sperm nucleus fuse to form the zygote (which develops into the embryo). The two polar nuclei in the ovule and a second sperm nucleus unite to form the fusion nucleus (which will eventually mature into the endosperm).
Classification of fruits Fruits can be divided into several groups based on various criteria: Whether they are dry or fleshy. The pericarp (wall) of the fruit MAY be divided into three layers: an external exocarp ( 외과피 ), a middle mesocarp ( 중과피 ), and an internal endocarp ( 내과피 ). In a peach or an olive, for example, the endocarp is stony whereas the mesocarp is fleshy and edible. A tomato is not differentiated into these three layers.
Whether they are dehiscent or indehiscent. dehiscent: the pericarp splits open to release the seeds (i.e., the seed is the unit of dispersal). Indehiscent: the pericarp encloses the seed so that the entire fruit disperses. The taxonomic group to which they belong. Many fruits are characteristic for particular families or subfamilies. Are these true fruits (in the botanical sense)? apple banana carrot green bean eggplant avocado squash corn potato tomato cucumber peanut coconut onion chestnut lettuce celery
