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 ...

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.

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.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of parthenocarpic fruit set-related gene homologs in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), a major horticultural crop, in the family Cucurbitaceae is grown and consumed globally. Parthenocarpy is an ideal trait for many fruit and vegetables which produces seedless fruit desired by consumers.

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.

Parthenocarpy-related genes induced by naphthalene acetic acid in oil palm interspecific O × G [Elaeis oleifera (Kunth) Cortés × Elaeis guineensis Jacq.] hybrids [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Parthenocarpy is the development without fertilization of seedless fruits. In the oil palm industry, the development of parthenocarpic fruits is considered an attractive option to increase palm oil production.

Genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the parthenocarpic fruit mutation in tomato [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Parthenocarpy allows fruit set independently of fertilization. In parthenocarpic-prone tomato genotypes, fruit set can be achieved under pollen-limiting environmental conditions and in sterile mutants.
