Question
The fleshy receptacle of syconous of fig encloses a number of
Options
A.achenes
B.samaras
C.berries
D.mericarps
Solution
Syconous is a composite fruit develops from hypanthodium infloresence, eg, Ficu crica, Ficus benghalensis. The flask- shaped receptacle encloses female flowers that give rise to achene-like fruitlets. This fruit possesses a small pore protected by scaly leaves. The receptacle that becomes fleshy is edible.
Sanara is a singla seeded, dry indehiscent fruit. its pericarp becomes membramous and flat-like wings that help in dispersal, eg, Ulmus, Holoptelia indica.
A berry is a pulpy-indehiscent, few to multiseeded fruit derived from multicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium. The fleshy pericarp of berry consists of three parts epicarp that make the rind of fruit, mesocarp and endocarp.
Schizocarpic fruits are simmple, dry, multiseeded fruits, which breakup into single seeded parts. The single seeded parts, which further do not dehisce are called mericarps.
