| Changes of cell number and cell length of the mesocarp along the equatorial region during fruit development in three Japanese pear cultivars. |
| Fruit cell turgors were obtained by probing the mesocarp cells directly under the fruit epidermis. |
| Wet masses of the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp were also measured on twenty ripe fallen fruits. |
| Fruit in which the seed is surrounded by two distinct layers: an exocarp and a fleshy mesocarp that is in direct contact with the seed. |
