• Perisperm is the residual persistent nucellus.E.g., black pepper and beet.
• False fruit is the formation of fruit from parts other than the ovary like the thalamus. E.g., Strawberry, apple
• Polyembryony is the presence of more than one embryo in a seed. Eg., Citrus and mango varieties.
• Parthenocarpic fruit develops without fertilisation. E.g., Banana, pineapple.
• Albuminous seeds retain their endosperm during the development of embryo. E.g., Monocot seeds except banana and orchid. Castor (Dicot seed) is an albuminous seed.
