HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The fruit is a mature or ripened ovary. The ovule-bearing reproductive structure of the plant flower is termed as the ovary. The ovules are protected and enclosed by the ovary, from the very young stage of flower development until the ovules become fertilized and then turns into a seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mature ovaries develop into a fruit. Inside the ovary are embryonic seeds called ovules. These eventually develop into the seeds of the fruit. Some flowers have a single carpel as a female unit.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fruit develops from the maturation of one or more flowers, and the ovary of the flower forms all or part of the fruit. The ovules develop into seeds and the ovary wall, i.e. the pericarp, may become fleshy such as in berries or drupes, or form a hard-outer covering such as in nuts.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. The ovary itself will mature into a fruit, either dry or fleshy, enclosing the seeds. A simple or unicarpellate ovary is formed from a single carpel, an evolutionarily modified leaf. It has one locule (chamber), within which are the ovules.

Detailed explanation-5: -The properties of the ripened ovary wall, or pericarp, which may develop entirely or in part into fleshy, fibrous, or stony tissue, are important. Often three distinct pericarp layers can be identified: the outer (exocarp), the middle (mesocarp), and the inner (endocarp).
