  7 types of Simple Dry Indehiscent Fruits
• Berry


  Simple fleshy fruit in which the fruit wall is soft throughout. A fleshy fruit without a stone produced from a single flower containing one ovary
• Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato)


  Example of berry
• Drupe


  A simple, fleshy fruit in which the inner wall of the fruit is a hard stone.
• Prunus persica (Peach)


  Example of a drupe
• Pome


  Most of the fleshy part of pomes develops from the enlarged base of the perianth that has fused with the ovary wall.
• Accessory Fruit


  A fruit composed primarily of nonovarian tissue (hypanthium).
• Malus domestica/sylvestris (Apple)


  Example of a Pome.
• Capsule


  A simple, dry fruit that splits open along three or more sutures or pores to release its seeds. Fruit is formed from ovary that consists of three or more carpels.
• Achene


  Dry indehiscent fruit that is attached to the fruit wall at one spot only, and it is possible to peel off the fruit wall, to separate it from the seed.
• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower)


  An example of an Achene.
• Caryopsis


  Simple, dry, indehiscent fruit where the fruit wall is fused to the seed coat.
• Utricle


  Wolffia sp.
• Samara


  Simple dry indehiscent fruit which is known as a winged achene.
• 1. Gyrocarpus whirling fruit

  2. Dipterocarp fruits

  3. Narra fruits


  Examples of Samara
• Nut


  Simple dry indehiscent fruit that has a stony wall, is usually large and does not open at maturity.
• Aggregate Fruit


  A fruit that develops from one flower with many separate pisitls/carpels, all ripening simultaneously
• Roseleaf raspberry (Rubus rosifolius)


  Example of an Aggregate Fruit
• Multiple Fruit


  Develops from ovaries of separate flowers borne/fused together on the same stalk.
• Climacteric


  Climacteric fruits produce high levels of ethylene during ripening; can ripen after harvest.
• Non-climacteric


  Fruits only ripen while still in the mother plant.
• Diaspore


  Presence of dispersal unit
• Atelochory


  Absence of specialized dispersal unit.
• Autochory


  Self-dispersal
• Anemochory


  Wind dispersal
• Hydrochory


  Water dispersal
• Zoochory


  Animal dispersal
• Myrmecochory


  Ants dispersal
• Exozoic


  Diaspore attached to animals
• Endozoic


  Diaspore eaten, passes through guts.
• Hesperidium


  A fleshy fruit with tough, aromatic rind.
• Pepo


  Hard, thick rind; typical fruit of the gourd family (cucurbitaceae)
• Drupe


  One-seeded fruit with the pericarp distinctly divided into thin skin-like exocarp, thick fleshy mesocarp and hard, stony endocarp.
• Legume


  Splits along two seems
• Follicle


  Splits along one seam
• Silique


  Two fused carpels that separate, leaving a persistent wall between them.
