Fruits
Fruits are a development of the ovary wall and sometimes other flower parts as well. As seeds mature, they release the hormone auxin, which stimulates the wall of the ovary to develop into the fruit.

In Drosophila (fruit flies), the chorion (eggshell) gene is copied many times in certain cells of the oviduct. These cells make large quantities of the protein needed to surround the egg.
From that point, one haploid male nucleus combines with a female nucleus and the other haploid male nucleus combines with a polar nucleus. If successful, an embryo and seed/fruit develop respectively.
