A pome is an accessory fruit composed of one or more carpels surrounded by accessory tissue. The accessory tissue is interpreted by some specialists as an extension of the receptacle and is then referred to as "fruit cortex", [3] and by others as a fused hypanthium (floral cup). [3] It is the most edible part of this fruit. [citation needed]
Compound fruit, a term sometimes used when it is not clear whether a fruit is an aggregate fruit, a multiple fruit, or a simple fruit formed from a compound ovary; Accessory fruit, a fruit in which some of the flesh is derived from tissue exterior to the carpel; Carpel, the "building blocks" of the ovary
A selection of accessory fruits (from left to right: pear, fig, and strawberry) An accessory fruit is a fruit that contains tissue derived from plant parts other than the ovary. In other words, the flesh of the fruit develops not from the floral ovary, but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel (for example, from receptacles or sepal ...
Buff is the term generically used to describe a positive status effect that affects mainly player or enemy statistics (usually cast as a spell). Debuffs are effects that may negatively impact a player character or a non-player character in some way other than reducing their hit points. Some examples of buffs and debuffs are:
Each flower in the inflorescence produces a fruit, but these mature into a single mass. [1] After flowering, the mass is called an infructescence. [2] [3] Examples are the fig, pineapple, mulberry, osage orange, and jackfruit. In contrast, an aggregate fruit such as a raspberry develops from multiple ovaries of a single flower. In languages ...
The edible part of the strawberry is formed from the receptacle of the flower. Due to this difference the strawberry is known as a false fruit or an accessory fruit. There is a shared method of seed dispersal within fleshy fruits. These fruits depend on animals to eat the fruits and disperse the seeds in order for their populations to survive. [3]
In botanical language, a berry is a simple fruit having seeds and fleshy pulp (the pericarp) produced from the ovary of a single flower. The ovary can be inferior or superior. It is indehiscent, i.e. it does not have a special "line of weakness" along which it splits to release the seeds when ripe. [2] The pericarp is divided into three layers.
The usually black fruit is not a berry in the botanical sense, as it is termed botanically as an aggregate fruit, composed of small drupelets. It is a widespread and well-known group of over 375 species, many of which are closely related apomictic microspecies native throughout Europe, northwestern Africa, temperate western and central Asia and ...
