Parthenocarpy and Self-Incompatibility in Mandarins [PDF]

Agronomy, 2021
Citrus reproductive biology is complex. One of its characteristic features is parthenocarpy that enables seedless fruit production. Citrus parthenocarpy and self-incompatibility knowledge is only partial and sometimes discrepant.

SlTPL1 Silencing Induces Facultative Parthenocarpy in Tomato [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Facultative parthenocarpy is of great practical value. However, the molecular mechanism underlying facultative parthenocarpy remains elusive. Transcriptional co-repressors (TPL) act as a central regulatory hub controlling all nine phytohormone pathways ...

Integrated genome-wide domestication and association analyses reveal the complex genetic basis of parthenocarpy during cucumber domestication [PDF]

Molecular Horticulture
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 ...

MicroRNA156-SPL13B Module Induces Parthenocarpy Through the Gibberellin Pathway. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Fruit development typically follows pollination and fertilisation. However, parthenocarpy, the formation of seedless fruits, represents an alternative pathway. The fruit that grows from the ovary under unpollinated and/or unfertilised conditions is termed parthenocarpic.

Parthenocarpy in Cucurbitaceae: Advances for Economic and Environmental Sustainability [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Parthenocarpy is an important agricultural trait that not only produces seedless fruits, but also increases the rate of the fruit set under adverse environmental conditions.

A feedback loop at the THERMOSENSITIVE PARTHENOCARPY 4 locus controls tomato fruit set under heat stress [PDF]

Nature Communications
High temperatures compromise crop productivity worldwide, but breeding bottlenecks slow the delivery of climate-resilient crops. By investigating tomato fruit set under high temperatures, we discover a module comprising two linked genes, THERMOSENSITIVE ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of two pomelo accessions with different parthenocarpic ability provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of parthenocarpy in pomelo (Citrus grandis) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Parthenocarpy is an important way for seedless fruit production in citrus. However, the molecular mechanism(s) of parthenocarpy in pomelo is still unknown.

Investigation of mechanisms underlying seedlessness in a Sangiovese somatic variant through comparative genomic and histological analyses [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Both parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy lead to seedless grapes. Only parthenocarpy, which is rather rare, generates berries with a complete absence of seed tissues.

Unveiling the potential role of gibberellic acid, melatonin and indole acetic acid on parthenocarpy, physiological traits and phytochemical responses in Hibiscus sabdariffa L [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The economic part of the Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Malvaceae) plant is the sepal. One of the main challenges in harvesting this product is separating its seeds, which are surrounded by sepals.
