Translations
pericarp
pericarp1. the part of a fruit enclosing the seeds that develops from the wall of the ovary 2. a layer of tissue around the reproductive bodies of some algae and fungi Pericarp the wall surrounding the seed of a plant. It develops from the embryo, sometimes with the other organs attached to it that make up the flower (for example, the perianth). The pericarp comprises the epicarp, endocarp, and mesocarp. The epicarp develops from the outer epidermis, the endocarp from the inner epidermis, and the mesocarp from the mesophyll of the carpel. If the mesophyll is differentiated into various tissues, then there is an exomesocarp (for example, the succulent part of a cherry) and a mesendocarp (the pit). The pericarp’s consistency is used in the classification of fruits (for example, dry or juicy) and helps identify fruits as being nuts, berries, or drupes. pericarp[′per·ə‚kärp] (botany) The wall of a fruit, developed by ripening and modification of the ovarian wall. pericarp

The pericarp is made up of three distinct layers, an outer exocarp, a central mesocarp and an inner endocarp. In dry fruit the pericarp is firm and often rigid (e.g. poppy capsule, strawberry ACHENES); in succulent fruits the pericarp is swollen, often with a high sugar content in the mesocarp (e.g. grape, peach).pericarp
