Definitions

1. The Pericarp is the botanical term for the tissue surrounding a seed that develops from the ovary wall of the flower.
2. The pericarp is the fruit wall developed from the ovary. (Web site)
3. The pericarp was removed and safe seeds were selected.

Citrus Fruits

1. In citrus fruits, the flavedo constitutes the peripheral surface of the pericarp. (Web site)

Inner Part

1. Endocarp - includes the wall of the seed chamber, the inner part of the pericarp.

Ovary

1. While the seeds are akin to the eggs developing in the ovary of a fowl, the pericarp may be assumed as the uterus.

Edible

1. In botany, the berry is the most common type of simple fleshy fruit; a fruit in which the entire ovary wall ripens into an edible pericarp.

Saponins

1. The pericarp of the fruits is a rich source of saponins which are natural surfactants (e.g.

Achenes

1. Achenes contain a single seed that nearly fills the pericarp, but does not adhere to it.

Impervious

1. Unlike most other grains, the outer hull or pericarp of the popcorn kernel is thick and impervious to moisture.

Medicinally

1. The pericarp of rambutan contains tannin and saponin and is dried and used medicinally in Java. (Web site)

Fruit

1. The wall of the ovary becomes the pericarp, the thickened wall of the fruit, while other parts of the flower wither and are shed. (Web site)
2. The wall of the fruit, developed from the ovary wall of the flower, is called the pericarp.
3. A grain, a type of fruit closely resembling an achene, differs in that the pericarp is fused to the thin seed coat in the grain.

Seed Coat

1. The kernel of maize has a pericarp of the fruit fused with the seed coat, typical of the grasses, and the entire kernel is often referred to as the seed. (Web site)
2. The kernel of corn has a pericarp of the fruit fused with the seed coat, typical of the grasses. (Web site)
3. Fruit: A caryopsis with pericarp completely united with the seed coat, rarely a nut (Dendrocalamus) or a berry (Bambusa). (Web site)

Fleshy

1. Fruits in which part or all of the pericarp (fruit wall) is fleshy at maturity are simple fleshy fruits.

Ovary Wall

1. The ovule develops into a seed and the ovary wall pericarp may become fleshy (as in berries or drupes), or form a hard outer covering (as in nuts).
2. The grains of grasses are single-seeded simple fruits where the pericarp (ovary wall) and seed coat are fused into one layer.
3. A. Fleshy Fruits: All of most of the ovary wall (pericarp) is soft or fleshy at maturity. (Web site)

Pericarp

1. The ovules develop into seeds and the ovary wall, the pericarp, may become fleshy (as in berries or drupes), or form a hard outer covering (as in nuts).
2. The ovary wall has developed to form the fruit or pericarp, the structure of which is closely associated with the manner of distribution of the seed.
3. In fleshy fruits, the outer, often edible layer is the pericarp, which is the tissue that develops from the ovary wall of the flower and surrounds the seeds.
