Summary Introduction

Introduction: The production of flower and fruit are the unique characteristics of the angiosperms. The different parts of the flower other than ovary are modified to form a flower. The resources of the plants prioritize the development of fruits. Slowly upon the arrival of dispersal time the plant release several hormones like ethylene and abscisic acid to activate enzyme within the fruit. This facilitates hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars along with the dissolution of the pectin layer between the cells.
