In some cases, such as the acorn, the pericarp becomes dry and hard, forming a shell around the seed.
In fleshy fruits the pericarp is typically made up of three distinct layers: the exocarp (the outside or the peel), the mesocarp (the middle layer), and the endocarp (the inner layer).
The epicarp, or exocarp, forms the tough outer skin of the fruit.

 Pome - Food & Drink - Recipes24 Net - recipes, cooking, cookbooks and more
In botany, a pome (after the French name for an apple, pomme) is a type of fruit, produced by flowering plants in the subfamily Maloideae of the family Rosaceae.
A pome is an accessory fruit composed of five or more carpels in which the exocarp forms an inconspicuous layer, the mesocarp is usually fleshy, and the endocarp forms a leathery case around the seed.
However, outside of the exocarp is the most edible part of this fruit, derived from the floral tube (torus and other parts).

In fleshy fruits the pericarp is typically made up of three distinct layers.
The epicarp, or exocarp, forms the tough outer skin of the fruit, while the mesocarp is often fleshy and forms the middle layers.
The innermost layer or endocarp, which surrounds the seeds, may be membranous or thick and hard, as seen in cherries, plums, and apricots.

Exocarp and locular tissue samples were obtained by dissecting and pooling fruit tissues from 1 50 Ferum fruit harvested at 22 DPA.
The expression of 21 genes preferentially expressed in fruit exocarp or locular tissue according to the microarray data was assayed by semiquantitative RT- PCR in different tissues dissected from 22-DPA fruit (cv Ferum) using gene-specific primers.
In contrast, the exocarp tissue, which is localized on the external side of the fruit and corresponds to the abaxial side of the leaf, is poor in chloroplasts (Gillaspy et al., 1993), which may explain the stronger expression of photosynthesis-related genes in the locular tissue.

 Epicarp (Syn: exocarp)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The epicarp (also called exocarp) is the outermost layer of the fruit wall or pericarp which consists of three distinct or dissimilar layers.
In a succulent fruit the exocarp is situated outside of the the pulpy mesocarp and of the stony inner layer (Endocarp), if any, surrounding the seed(s).
The epicarp (exocarp) can be tough and leathery as in the rind of an orange or soft as in cthe skin of a cherry.

During the development of the fruit, the wall of the ovary, called per carp, usually thickens and becomes differentiated into three layers, which may or may not be easy to distinguish visually.
As an example, in the peach, the Exocarp is the skin, the Mesocarp is the fleshy part, and the endocarp is the stony pit.
Per carp consists of three layers of tissue; the thin outer Exocarp, which becomes the “skin” the thicker Mesocarp; and the inner endocarp, immediately surrounding the ovule.

The pI 6.0 peroxidase exocarp isozyme increased in intensity in fruit harvested 20 DAA and decreased in fruit harvested 40 and 50 DAA.
Nitrocellulose tissue blots indicated that peroxidase activity was primarily located in the exocarp tissue as the fruit ripened.
The role of peroxidase in cantaloupe ripening, net development, and disease resistance is unknown, but the increase of peroxidase in fruit harvested 15-20 DAA corresponds to net development and the decrease of the pI 6.0 isozyme in fruit harvested 40-50 DAA corresponds to the induction of latent fungal pathogens.

The fruit of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi is a globose red drupe with friable exocarp when ripe and composed of two lignified layers: the epidermis and hypodermis.
The mesocarp detaches itself from the exocarp due to degeneration of the cellular layers in contact with the hypodermis.
The lignified endocarp is composed of four layers: the outermost layer of polyhedral cells with prismatic crystals of calcium oxalate, and the three innermost layers of sclereids in palisade.

The wall of the fruit, developed from the ovary wall of the flower, is called the pericarp.
The pericarp is often differentiated into two or three distinct layers called the exocarp (outer layer - also called epicarp), mesocarp (middle layer), and endocarp (inner layer).
In some fruits, especially simple fruits derived from an inferior ovary, other parts of the flower (such as the floral tube, including the petals, sepals, and stamens), fuse with the ovary and ripen with it.
