Background: A complete and hardened endocarp is a typical trait of drupe fruits.

Conclusions: Our comparative transcriptome analysis was used to understand the molecular mechanisms underlie the endocarp-cleaving phenotype in LE apricot.

Transcription factors such as NST1 may regulate genes involved in phenylpropanoid pathway and affect development and lignification of the endocarp.

The fruit is a drupe, having a downy outer coat, called the epicarp, which encloses the reticulated hard stony shell or endocarp.

Here, we report a low-cost, natural potassium-doped carbon material, which is directly carbonized from the coconut endocarp-a kind of high potassium-containing biomass material.

This new apricot genomic resource and the candidate genes provide a useful reference for further investigating the lignification during development of apricot endocarp.

The endocarp is remarkable by its row of round and regular cells, which appear in the cut like a continuous string of beads; 100 lb.

After pulping they are cured in the sun for about a week and then hulled, or divested of the endocarp, a process requiring expensive machinery.

The shell-almonds of trade consist of the endocarps enclosing the seeds.

The endocarps were different.
