Some embryos of seeds can develop apomictically; that is, without development or fusion of gametes (sex cells) but with the normal structures (e.g., ovaries) otherwise being involved. An embryo may develop, for example, from a 2n nutritive cell or other diploid cell of an ovule, instead of from a zygote. After germination, this makes the plant that develops from such a seed the equivalent of a vegetatively propagated plant. Fruits that develop from ovaries having unfertilized eggs are said to be parthenocarpic. Such fruits are seedless and are found in navel oranges, supermarket bananas, and certain varieties of figs and grapes. Apomixis was discussed in Chapter 15.The word comes from Greek, meaning virgin fruit. As a rule, flowers need to be pollinated and fertilized to create fruit. In some species of plants, a different method has developed, requiring either no fertilization or no fertilization and no pollination.Examples of Parthenocarpy In cultivated plants, parthenocarpy is introduced with plant hormones such as gibberellic acid. It causes ovaries to mature without fertilization and produces bigger fruits. The process is being introduced to all kinds of crops from squash to cucumber and more.
