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 HorticultureParthenocarpy 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 ...

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

The Occurrence of Seedlessness in Higher Plants; Insights on Roles and Mechanisms of Parthenocarpy
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Parthenocarpy in a broad sense includes those processes that allow the production of seedless fruits. Such fruits are favorable to growers, because they are set independently of successful pollination, and to processors and consumers, because they are ...

Investigation of mechanisms underlying seedlessness in a Sangiovese somatic variant through comparative genomic and histological analyses [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Both parthenocarpy and stenospermocarpy lead to seedless grapes. Only parthenocarpy, which is rather rare, generates berries with a complete absence of seed tissues.
