Wet masses of the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp were also measured on twenty ripe fallen fruits. |
The fruits usually bear two or three seeds that are covered by an endocarp that opens when the fruit pulp is removed. |
In peach fruit, cell numbers in the endocarp appear to be fixed several weeks after full bloom. |
The shell of the nut itself, which constitutes the endocarp, is hard, woody and brown. |
In the hesperidium, the layer of endocarp lining the outside of the locule grow as hairs that project into the locule. |
Surface deposits are covering materials on seed coats and are apparently derived from the endocarp. |
