Parthenocarpy
- The formation of fruit without the process of fertilization is called parthenocarpy.
- Although in most of the species, fruits are the results of fertilisation, there are a few species in which fruits develop without fertilisation.
- Such fruits are called parthenocarpic fruits. Banana is one such example.
- Parthenocarpy can be induced through the application of growth hormones and such fruits are seedless.
- Parthenocarpy is of two types:
- Vegetative: No stimulus of pollination is required, for example, pear, fig, etc.
- Stimulative: The stimulus of pollination is required without the actual process of fertilization or seed set, for example, grapes.
- Hormonal treatment enables flowers to develop seedless fruits without the stimulus of pollination.
- The commonly used hormones are auxins and gibberellins.
