"Silique A silique or siliqua (plural ""siliques"" or ""siliquae"") is a type of fruit (seed capsule) having two fused carpels with the length being more than three times the width. When the length is less than three times the width of the dried fruit it is referred to as a silicle. The outer walls of the ovary (the ""valves"") usually separate when ripe, then being named ""dehiscent"", and leaving a persistent partition (the ""replum""). ""Siliques"" are present in many members of the mustard family, Brassicaceae, but some species have ""silicles"" instead. Some species closely related to plants with true ""siliques"""

There are several species of citrus trees whose fruits are called limes, including the Key lime (""Citrus aurantifolia""), Persian lime, kaffir lime, and desert lime. Limes are a rich source of vitamin C, sour and are often used to accent the flavours of foods and beverages. They are grown year-round. Plants with fruit called ""limes"" have diverse genetic origins; limes do not form a monophyletic group. The"

Under the Swingle system, tangerines are considered to be a group of mandarin (""C. reticulata"") varieties. Genetic study has shown tangerines to be mandarin orange hybrids containing some pomelo DNA. Some differ only in disease resistance. The term is currently applied to any reddish-orange mandarin (and, in some jurisdictions, mandarin-like hybrids, including"

The fruit of the family Asteraceae is also so similar to an achene that it is often considered to be one, although it derives from a compound inferior ovary (with"

No alternative system of grouping fruit in hybrid species has been adopted. While most citrus hybrids derive from the three core species, hybrids have also been derived from the micrantha, the Ichang papeda and the kumquat. The best known hybrid from micrantha is the Key lime (or Mexican lime), derived from the breeding of a male citron and a female micrantha. Several citrus varieties are Ichang papeda/mandarin crosses (for which Swingle coined the term ichandarin), including Sudachi and Yuzu (which also"

The berry, also known as the miracle fruit, was documented by explorer Chevalier des Marchais, who searched for many different fruits during a 1725 excursion to its native West Africa. Miraculin itself is not sweet. After the taste buds are exposed to miraculin (which binds to sweet receptors on the tongue), acidic foods that are ordinarily sour (such as citrus) are perceived as sweet. This effect lasts up to about an hour. The active substance was named miraculin after its extraction was published in 1968. Miraculin"

The fruit, a cross between a grapefruit and an orange, had spontaneously appeared in the shade-providing trees grown on coffee plantations in the Puerto Rican highlands. In 1956, Carlos G.

In many species, what is called the ""seed"" is an achene, a fruit containing the seed. The seed-like appearance is owed to the hardening of the wall of the seed-vessel, which encloses the"
