Fruits Flashcards
Is a matured ovary or group of ovaries usually containing seed, together with any adjacent parts adhering to them.
Fruit
the wall of a fruit which develops from the ovary wall
Pericarp
Outer layer of pericarp
Exocarp
Middle layer of pericarp
Mesocarp
Inner part of pericarp
Endocarp
characteristic reproductive structure of seed plants which is formed from the ovule
Seed
outer layer of the seed which
develops from the integument of the ovule. It is also called testa. The tegmen is the inner integument of the ovule.
Seed coat
Stored food of the plant in the seed
Endosperm
the part that will form the growing seedling after germination (resumption of growth)
Embryo
one that develops from a single ovary
Simple
formed from a group of ovaries produced in a single flower (ex. Atis, guyabano, anonas)
Aggregate
composed of the ovaries of a cluster of flowers that are borne on the same stalk (ex. Lanka, pakak)
Multiple
each eye is an individual fruit, as the individual fruit grows, they fuse together
Pineapple
derived from accessory parts of the flowers like the calyx or receptacle or both
Accessory fruits
pericarp is soft and fleshy
Fleshy
fleshy simple fruit with succulent pericarp (ex. Tomato, banana)
Berry
a fleshy, thck-skinned berry with hard and leathery pericarp, with soft rind (ex. Citrus)
Hesperidium
with hard rind (ex. Patola, upo, sayote, melon)
Pepo
with stony endocarp and
edible mesocarp (ex. Mangga,
coconut)
Drupe
an accessory fruit (ex. Apple , peras)
The fruit of the pome is the core while the fleshy part usually eaten develops from the receptacle (Apple)
Pome
pericarp is dry and hard, seed is the edible portion
Dry
Thoose that will split/open
Dehiscent
dehisces along 2 sutures (ex. Sitaw, kamatsile, acacia, beans, alibangbang)
Legume
split open at 2 sutures but
with persistent papery wall (ex. Celery)
Silique
split open at 1 suture (Pandakaki)
Follicle
split open either in pore, septa, in the middle of carpel or along a straight line (ex. Malunggay, saluyot, okra, aswete)
Capsule
Fruit that will not split open
Indehiscent
pericarp is inseparably fused with testa (ex. Rice,
corn)
Grains/caryopsis
ovary and seed coat attached
at one point (ex. Bougainvillea, 4 o’clock plant)
Achene
One seeded fruit with stony exocarp (kasoy)
Nut
Pericarp is winged. (Narra)
Samara
Fertilized ovules
Seeds
Surrounds the embryo
Seed coat
Scar on the surface of the seed left
Hilum
Food storage organs for digestions and absorption of food
Cotyledons
Becomes a shoot system of the new plant as the seed germinates
Epicotyl
Become the root system
Radicle
Are between epicotyl and the readicle
Hypocotyl
Covers the root tip im case of monocot llants
Coleorhiza
Encloses the young primary shoot
Coleoptile
