Types Of fruits In Odia

1. Fruits are classified according to the arrangement from which they derive.
There are four types simple, aggregate, multiple, and accessory fruits. Simple
fruits develop from a single ovary of a single flower and may be fleshy or dry.
Principal fleshy fruit types are the berry, in which the entire pericarp is soft and
pulpy e.g., the grape, tomato, banana, pepo, hesperidium, and blueberry and
the drupe, in which the outer layers may be pulpy, fibrous, or leathery and the
endocarp hardens into a pit or stone enclosing one or more seeds e.g., the
peach, cherry, olive, coconut, and walnut. The name fruit is often applied
loosely to all edible plant products and specifically to the fleshy fruits, some of
which e.g. eggplant tomatoes, and squash are commonly called vegetables
This seems like such a simple question that we should all know the answer to,
but it is much more complicated than one might expect. The botanical
definition of a fruit is a mature ovary and its contents. During the youngest
stages of flowers the ovary encloses the ovules, later the ovules become
fertilized, and finally the ovules turn into seeds. The function of a fruit is to
spread seeds. A false fruit or pseudo-carp is derived from the floral parts other
than ovary, e.g peduncle in cashew-nut, thalamus in apple, pear, gourd and
cucumber fused perianth in mulberry and calyx in Dillenia Jack fruit and pine
apple are also false fruits as they develop from the entire inflorescence.
The concept of fruit is based on such an odd mixture of practical and
theoretical considerations that it accommodates cases in which one flower
gives rise to several fruits larkspur as well as cases in which several flowers
cooperate in producing one fruit mulberry .
This is defined as a fleshy fruit with many seeds inside and a covering on the
outside that can be either soft or hard.
These are sometimes called dehiscent fruits. Dry fruits are differentiated
whether they stay intact at maturity or open to release seeds. There are
different kinds of dry fruits. The pericarp in dry fruits is flimsy, relatively thin,
and somewhat fused to the seeds in samaras. It becomes bigger by slightly
forming one or more wings that aid in seed dispersal.
These fruits consist of one or more matured ovaries and other parts of the
flower, such as the receptacle. For example, strawberries have an intact stem
when harvested. The stems are the receptacle, and the berry is the matured
ovary.
