. Botany for agricultural students . Botany. FiG. 75. —A, cross section of a Tomato. B, cross section of an Orange. w, ovary wall; p, placentas; s, seeds; a, partition walls; I, locules. tures closely related to the ovary. Since fruits involve a number of structures in their formation, it will be best to study some types and then formulate a definition. Tomato or Berry Type. — The fruit of the Tomato consists of the ovary which has enlarged and become fieshy and juicy. The most edible portion consists of the fleshy enlargements which develop from the inner angle of the locules and almost fill them. These enlargements bear the seeds and hence are the placentas much enlarged. Also the citrus fruits, such as Oranges, Lemons, etc., are of the berry type. However, they have no fleshy placentas. The seeds are attached to the small central core, and the juicy tissues developing from other parts of the ovary and filling the locules constitute the flesh of these fruits. The fleshy and juicy features are characteristics of the berry; and a berry is often defined as a fleshened juicy ovary. {Fig. 75.).
