Septicidal dehiscence takes place along the line of carpal union.

Legume is composed of a single carpel that splits along the two sutures.

Hesperidium develops from superior ovary.

The silk of corn are individual style and stigma, which connect to ovule.

Maple fruits are winged and two-seeded samaras.

Loment fruit breaks apart at constrictions occurring between segments, so that each segment contains one seed

The fruit formed without fertilisation is called parthenocarpic fruit.
