Allocarpic
Definition
A term describing a vegetal organism, a fruit, or a reproductive system resulting from cross-fertilization (allogamy), meaning pollination with pollen originating from another flower or from another individual of the same species. In a structural sense, it defines carpic structures or fruits whose genetic development depends strictly on an external pollen contribution, ensuring high genetic variability.
