dc.description.abstract	Literature relevant to the biochemical changes occurring in the endosperm of the developing fruit, from the time of fertilization to maturity, is reviewed. The biosynthesis and utilisation of the major fruit components at various growth stages and the interrelationships among them are discussed. It is pointed out that the discovery of the involvement of a D- galactosidase in the formation of normal endosperm and in the control of germination is of major importance and should lead to more work on the mutant Maka-puno for a better understanding of the control mechanisms. Comparative studies of several coconut genotypes during fruit development are recommended in order to enhance their utility in the food industry and in the manufacture of other products. Some of the major areas for future work are listed.	en_US
