Fruit crops are cultivated flowering plants grown for their edible fruits, which are seed-bearing structures that develop from the ovary following fertilization. The study of fruit crops is central to plant science, encompassing research into fruit development, ripening physiology, genetic improvement, and stress responses. Understanding the molecular and biochemical processes governing fruit quality, yield, and disease resistance has broad implications for agricultural productivity and food security.
