The fruit product of the transformation of the flower
The fruit is all the parts of the flower that persist after fertilization.
Source
After fertilization, the ovary undergoes changes in its structure, thickness and size until the fruit is formed. At the same time, the eggs develop into seeds.
Parties
To describe it, we consider the fruit, an ovary is fertilized, and become mature.
consists of the pericarp and seed. Pericarp
Wrap the seeds and stems from the transformation ovary wall.
plays the protective role of seeds and, in many cases, stored food substances that harness the human and animal.
Epicarp
The epicarp, outside of the fruit.
can be smooth (apple) or own hair, wings, Flowers, etc., Facilitating the spread. Take
assorted colors.
Mesocarp
In fleshy fruits, the mesocarp is of great development, and the acids it contains before maturity are transformed into starch and sugars, making them more edible (peach, watermelon, tomato).
In nuts, the mesocarp becomes dry (membranous) to maturity. Endocarp
can be woody (peach, olive) or leathery (pear, apple) and consists of glandular hairs and bulging bags filled with liquid (orange, lemon)
Classification fruits
are several criteria that may apply. It is natural to consider it if the pericarp is dry or fleshy as the fruit reaches maturity, and if that state is opened letting out the seeds, or not open and accompanies them in their dispersion. In
According to this the fruit is classified as dry and fleshy. Dry
Responds to membranous pericarp character and lack of reserve substances in their parénquina (mesocarp). Within the type are two groups:
has several seeds, the pericarp is open to maturity, dehiscent.
has a seed, the pericarp does not open at maturity, is indehiscent.
Meaty
Responds to fleshy pericarp character with plenty of reserve substances in parenquina. Is indehiscent. Within the fruit there are two types:
has several seeds and the pericarp is succulent.
has a seed and has a fleshy mesocarp and a woody endocarp.
Utility fruits
The fruits of many plants are used fresh in our daily diet.
Others are employed in the industry, to prepare canned, to be used for human consumption.

the industry also used to make sweets, alcohol or without alcohol, extraction oil production of dried fruit, etc. This is an important activity in many countries. Spread
fruit
to reach places outside their home. Consequences of this in its natural spread, within the regions they are right, fixed on the ground or other plants (epiphytes) and their seeds germinate.
This dispersion preserves the species, and that if the plants were born close together, in a limited area of \u200b\u200bland, would suffer in their nutrition, and disappearing species.
usually involved some factors, such as:
Wind: the pericarp of nuts as a wing (elm, tipa, maple) or violano of hair (dandelion, thistle, thistle, artichoke), in the Santa Rita flower bract Flower accompanying form a wing at fruit, others can be processed because of their small size.
animals: they can transport them pinned in their hair (thistle, devil horns), or taking them as do the squirrels with nuts.
Water: ocean currents carry floating fruit then germinate on the beaches (coconut, cerbecera, Lodoicea) rivers also carry them (coconuts, logging, reeds, eringio, reed).
Man, can act as a natural when it has attached fruits (clubs, cart, thistle) but more common is a concern for transport by any means known to them in trade, to all parts of the Earth use wherever needed.
