Strawberry development

[Dr. Magaly Rincon]

Dear Plant-eders,

I need help with my rusty plant anatomy.  I understand strawberry is an
aggregate fruit and also a false fruit.  Can anybody explain to me the
development of the strawberry fruit?  Does the fleshy tissue come from the
receptacle?

Thank you for your help.

Magaly
