SIMPLE FRUIT
The mayority of flowering plant have fruit
composed of a single ovary. These referred to
as simple fruits.
When the entire pericarp (the ovary wall) of
simple fruits is fleshy, the fruit is refer to berry.
Simple fleshy fruits having a stony endocarp
(such as peach, plum, olive) are known as
drupes (or stone fruits).
Simple fleshy fruits in which the inner portion of
the pericarp forms a dry paperlike core are
known as pomes (apple, pear, for example).

maturity. Simple dry fruits that open at
maturity include: capsules and legumes
Capsule fruit is dry at maturity and splits
open along several seams

Legumes are dry at maturity and split open


along two seams
Examples: pea pods, bean pods, peanut

ovary wall is very hard
(chestnut, walnut, acorns)

SEED
A seed is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a
covering called the seed coat, usually with some
stored food.
It is the product of the ripened ovule of
gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which
occurs after fertilization.
The formation of the seed completes the process
of reproduction in seed plants (started with the
development of flower and pollination), with the
embryo developed from the zygote and the seed
coat from the integuments of the ovule.
KRT-2010 32
Seed completes the prosess of reproduction
initiated in the flower, and it always consists of
an embryo surrounded by seed coats.

Double fertilization involves


a. fusion of egg and sperm nuclei to form
a zigote nucleus, and
b. fusion of polar nuclei with second
sperm nucleus to form a primary
endosperm nucleus

KRT-2010 34
Seed includes three basic
parts:
(1) an embryo,
(2) a supply of nutrients for the
embryo,
(3) a seed coat.

How are seeds made?

The stamen inside the


flower makes pollen.

How are seeds made?

The stamen inside the


flower makes pollen.
Plants need pollen from a
different flower to make
stamen seeds.

KRT-2010 38
How are seeds made?

The stamen inside the


flower makes pollen.
Plants need pollen from a
different flower to make
stamen seeds. When the flower
is pollinated the seeds
start to grow.

Parthenocarpy

Parthenocarpy: production of fruit


without fertilization i.e. pineapple,
navel orange, seedless grape.

Auxins, a plant hormone, or


synthetically derived growth
substances can be applied to
encourage parthenocarpy. From
the first page, we saw how genetic
manipulation can be used to also
produce such fruit.

Epigeous
In epigeous (or epigeal) germination, the hypocotyl
elongates and forms a hook, pulling rather than pushing
the cotyledons and apical meristem through the soil.
Once it reaches the surface, it straightens and pulls the
cotyledons and shoot tip of the growing seedlings into the
air. Beans and papaya are examples of plant that
germinate this way

Hypogeous
Another way of germination is hypogeous (or hypogeal)
where the epicotyl elongates and forms the hook. In this
type of germination, the cotyledons stay underground
where they eventually decompose. Peas, for example,
germinate this way
KRT-2010 48
Dormancy
Many live seeds have dormancy, meaning they will not
germinate even if they have water and it is warm enough
for the seedling to grow.

Dormancy is broken or ended by a number of different


conditions. Environmental factors like light, temperature,
fire, ingestion by animals and others are conditions that
can end seed dormancy.

Internally seeds can be dormant because of plant


hormones such as absciscic acid, which affects seed
dormancy and prevents germination, while the
production and application of the hormone gibberellin
can break dormancy and induces seed germination

Seed Dispersal

The wind blows the plant


and the seeds fall out.
The fruit breaks open. The
seeds fall.
Some seeds have
parachutes. The wind blows
the seeds away.
Some seeds have wings.
They fly through the air for a
long way.

Seed Dispersal
Animals help disperse
some seeds.

Fleshy fruits eaten and


dispersed with feces
