If one can induce parthenocarpy through the application of growth substances, which fruits would you select to induce parthenocarpy and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Parthenocarpy is the process of developing fruits without involving the process of fertilization or seed formation. Therefore, the seedless varieties of economically important fruits such as orange, lemon, water melon etc. are produced using this technique. This technique involves inducing fruit formation by the application of plant growth hormones such as auxins.
