In [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botany"]botany[/url], a [b]fruit[/b] is a part of a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiosperms"]flowering plant[/url] that derives from specific [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_%28biology%29"]tissues[/url] of the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower"]flower[/url], one or more [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovary_%28plants%29"]ovaries[/url], and in some cases accessory tissues. Fruits are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. Many of them that bear edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the movements of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens"]humans[/url] and animals in a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis"]symbiotic relationship[/url] as a means for [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dispersal"]seed dispersal[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition"]nutrition[/url], respectively; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-Lewis375-1"][1][/url][/sup] Fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture"]agricultural[/url] output, and some (such as the apple and the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate"]pomegranate[/url]) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.
The section of a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus"]fungus[/url] that produces [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore"]spores[/url] is also called a fruiting body.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-2"][2][/url][/sup] In common language usage, "fruit" normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of a plant that are sweet and edible in the raw state, such as [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple"]apples[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_%28fruit%29"]oranges[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape"]grapes[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_strawberry"]strawberries[/url], and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana"]bananas[/url].[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-Mauseth271-3"][3][/url][/sup] On the other hand, the botanical sense of "fruit" includes many structures that are not commonly called "fruits", such as [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean"]bean[/url] pods, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize"]corn[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed"]kernels[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat"]wheat[/url] grains, and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato"]tomatoes[/url].[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-4"][4][/url][/sup]



A fruit results from maturation of one or more flowers, and the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynoecium"]gynoecium[/url] of the flower(s) forms all or part of the fruit.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-9"][9][/url][/sup]
Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovule"]ovules[/url] where the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megagametophyte"]megagametophyte[/url] contains the egg cell.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-10"][10][/url][/sup] After [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_fertilization"]double fertilization[/url], these ovules will become seeds. The ovules are fertilized in a process that starts with [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination"]pollination[/url], which involves the movement of pollen from the stamens to the stigma of flowers. After pollination, a tube grows from the pollen through the stigma into the ovary to the ovule and two sperm are transferred from the pollen to the megagametophyte. Within the megagametophyte one of the two sperm unites with the egg, forming a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygote"]zygote[/url], and the second sperm enters the central cell forming the endosperm mother cell, which completes the double fertilization process.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-11"][11][/url][/sup][sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-12"][12][/url][/sup] Later the zygote will give rise to the embryo of the seed, and the endosperm mother cell will give rise to [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosperm"]endosperm[/url], a nutritive tissue used by the embryo.
As the ovules develop into seeds, the ovary begins to ripen and the ovary wall, the [i]pericarp[/i], may become fleshy (as in berries or [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupe"]drupes[/url]), or form a hard outer covering (as in nuts). In some multiseeded fruits, the extent to which the flesh develops is proportional to the number of fertilized ovules.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-13"][13][/url][/sup] The pericarp is often differentiated into two or three distinct layers called the [i]exocarp[/i] (outer layer, also called epicarp), [i]mesocarp[/i] (middle layer), and [i]endocarp[/i] (inner layer). In some fruits, especially simple fruits derived from an [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_ovary"]inferior ovary[/url], other parts of the flower (such as the floral tube, including the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petal"]petals[/url], [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepal"]sepals[/url], and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamen"]stamens[/url]), fuse with the ovary and ripen with it. In other cases, the sepals, petals and/or stamens and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynoecium"]style[/url] of the flower fall off. When such other floral parts are a significant part of the fruit, it is called an [i][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_fruit"]accessory fruit[/url][/i]. Since other parts of the flower may contribute to the structure of the fruit, it is important to study flower structure to understand how a particular fruit forms.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-Mauseth271-3"][3][/url][/sup]
There are three general modes of fruit development:[list]
[*]Apocarpous fruits develop from a single flower having one or more separate carpels, and they are the simplest fruits.
[*]Syncarpous fruits develop from a single gynoecium having two or more carpels fused together.
[*]Multiple fruits form from many different flowers.
[/list]
Plant scientists have grouped fruits into three main groups, simple fruits, aggregate fruits, and composite or multiple fruits.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit#cite_note-plants_systematics-14"][14][/url][/sup] The groupings are not evolutionarily relevant, since many diverse plant [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxa"]taxa[/url] may be in the same group, but reflect how the flower organs are arranged and how the fruits develop.
