| Cashew nut shell consists of three layers namely the endocarp, epicarp, and mesocarp. |
| Wet masses of the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp were also measured on twenty ripe fallen fruits. |
| The idea is that genetic engineering could either eliminate these endocarp cells, or convert the endocarp into mesocarp — stone into flesh. |
| The fruits usually bear two or three seeds that are covered by an endocarp that opens when the fruit pulp is removed. |
| In peach fruit, cell numbers in the endocarp appear to be fixed several weeks after full bloom. |
| Most fruits with a fleshy pericarp are eaten whole by vertebrates, including the stony endocarp or the stony seed coat. |
