Question

Define Parthenocarpy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Parthenocarpy refers to the development of fruit without fertilization. The process produces a sterile fruit that lacks seeds. This means that the pollination results in a production of berries that are completely seedless (Colova-Tsolova et al., 2003). Parthenocarpic seedless berries are mostly small.

Answer 2

Parthenocarpy is the natural or intentionally induced formation of fruit without ovule fertilisation, resulting in seedless fruit in botany and agriculture. Stenospermocarpy can also yield fruit that appears to be seedless, but the seeds are really aborted when still young.

Parthenocarpy can be found in pineapple, banana, cucumber, grape, watermelon, orange, grapefruit, pear, and fig. These grow without being fertilised and are frequently seedless.
