Parthenocarpic tomato mutants, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5, show plant adaptability and fruiting ability under heat-stress conditions [PDF]
Fruit set is one of the main problems that arise in tomato plants under heat-stress conditions, which disrupt pollen development, resulting in decreased pollen fertility.

Integrated genome-wide domestication and association analyses reveal the complex genetic basis of parthenocarpy during cucumber domestication [PDF]
Parthenocarpy is an important target trait for the yield and quality of fruit crops. It has been used and selected in cucumber breeding for more than a hundred years, which has led to variation in parthenocarpic ability among different cucumber groups ...

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna - dead end or breakthrough? [PDF]
Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Comparative gametogenesis and genomic signatures associated with pollen sterility in the seedless mutant of grapevine [PDF]
Background Seedless grapes are in high demand for fresh and dry fruit consumption. Seedlessness in grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) is triggered by two different mechanisms: stenospermocarpy and parthenocarpy.
