What are true, false and parthenocarpic fruits?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

True Fruits (Eucarp) are those fruits which are produced only from the ovary e.g. Tomato. False Fruits (Pseudocarp) are those fruits in which along with ovary, some other floral parts such as thalamus or peduncle may also take part e.g. Apple, Strawberry, Pineapple etc.
Parthenocarpic fruits are produced without the act of fertilisation e.g. Banana.
