The 49 pages that link to Fruit, each with the reason it gives.

• Seed dispersalRelated: Fruits protect seeds and often provide structures or rewards involved in transport.

• PollinationRelated: In many flowering plants, pollination and subsequent fertilization initiate fruit development.

• SeedRelated: In flowering plants, seeds develop inside fruits that can aid their dispersal.

• FructoseRelated: Many fruits contain fructose together with glucose, water, and fiber.

• TomatoRelated: The tomato is a fruit by botanical definition, even when used as a savory ingredient.

• CarpelRelated: The carpel’s ovary commonly matures into a fruit after fertilization.

• InvolucreRelated: In some plants, an involucre remains around the developing or mature fruit.

• Wind dispersalRelated: A fruit's wings, hairs, or other structures can shape its movement in air.

• SepalRelated: Sepals can persist at the base of some fruits and aid identification.

• ErythritolRelated: Erythritol occurs naturally in small amounts in some fruits, including pears and melons.

• CupuleRelated: The cupule supports or surrounds this structure without being the fruit itself.

• GynoeciumRelated: After fertilization, the gynoecium's ovary commonly develops into a fruit.

• ConvolvulaceaeRelated: Capsules are the typical fruits of the family, while sweet potato is a modified root.

• Spaghetti squashRelated: Botanically, the edible squash is a fruit even though it is cooked as a vegetable.

• Cucumis meloRelated: The edible melons are botanically fruits formed from the flower’s ovary.

• TumbleweedRelated: Seeds are commonly carried in fruits or seed-bearing structures on a tumbleweed.

• ColchicumRelated: Colchicum’s capsule develops underground after autumn flowering and appears with the spring leaves.

• Corypha umbraculiferaRelated: After flowering, the palm develops fruit before the parent plant dies.

• ErythroxylumRelated: Fruit and seed traits help characterize flowering-plant lineages.

• Evolutionary history of plantsRelated: Fruits evolved varied seed-dispersal strategies after the origin of flowering plants.
