Fruits Classification

This document classifies fruits based on their climatic requirements, horticultural characteristics, and botanical features. It divides fruits into three main climatic categories: tropical, subtropical, and temperate. Tropical fruits require warm moist conditions, subtropical fruits can withstand some cold but not frost, and temperate fruits need distinct cold periods. The document further categorizes fruits based on their morphology as simple, aggregate, or multiple. Simple fruits develop from one ovary, aggregate from many pistils, and multiple from clustered flowers. Fleshy fruits are divided into drupe, berry, and pome types. The document also discusses classification by respiration rate, photoperiod response, and salt tolerance.

Tropical Fruits
 Tropical fruit plants are generally
evergreen and are extremely sensitive to
cold.

 The plants are generally grown in


climatic conditions prevailing in the
region between the tropic of cancer and
the tropic of Capricorn.

 they require a moist warm climate but are


capable of withstanding dry weather in
some cases

 e.g.; mango, banana, papaya, sapota, etc.,


Temperate Fruits
climate requirement.

 Temperate fruit plants are exacting in


their climate requirement.

 They are grown only in place where


winter is distinctly cold, require as
exposure of specific chilling
temperature for certain period without
which they do not flower.

 These fruit plants are generally


deciduous and stand frost.

 E.g. apple, almond, peach, pear, plum,.


S ubtropical
Fruits
 The fruit crops grown under a climatic
condition between temperate and the
tropical are known as subtropical fruit
crops.

 They may be either deciduous or


evergreen and are usually able to
withstand a low temperature but not the
frost.

 Example; grape, citrus, durian, jackfruit,


etc.,

FRUITS FRIUTS
Simple fruit

 Derived from a single ovary e.g. Peach, Plum, mango

Aggregate fruit

 Derived from a flower having many pistils on a common receptacle

 e.g. Blackberry, Strawberry

Multiple fruit

 Derived from separate but closely clustered flowers

 e.g. Pineapple, fig, mulberry

FLESHY FRUITS DRY FRUITS


Fleshy Fruits

 A fruit in which the wall becomes soft and fleshy as it matures.

Types of Fleshy Fruits

A. Drupe

B. Berry

C. Pome
A. Drupe (Stone fruit/ True fruit)

 A one-seeded simple fruit developed


from a superior ovary having three
distinct layers e.g. mango, peach,
Plum, coconut.

 Exocarp
 Mesocarp
 Endocarp
B. The Berry

 A fruit formed from a compound ovary with few to many seeds.

 The entire pericarp is fleshy. (e.g. grape, banana, gooseberry, kiwi)

 two special types of berry

2. Pepo
Hesperidium

 This is a special type of berry in


which a leathery rind forms
containing oil and locules filled
with fleshy outgrowths containing
juice.

 the interior of the fruit divided by


septa, indicating the number of
carpels.
Pepo

 Berry with a relatively hard rind (watermelon, gourds, squash).


Fruits

 Fruits in which the coat becomes dry at maturity.

Two Major types of Dry Fruits:

A. Dehiscent fruit- Dry fruits which at maturity open by definite


natural beans to shed the contained seeds.

 e.g. peas and bean

B. Indehiscent fruits - Dry fruits which do not open when mature to


shed their seeds. Many of this group are one seeded fruits.

 e.g. nuts,acorns
