Analysis on Unveiling the Natural Dynamics of Parthenocarpy and Self-Compatibility in Apple Trees
HorticulturaeApple (Malus domestica) is self-incompatible and typically requires cross-pollination for seed and fruit development. Parthenocarpy (fruit development without fertilization) and self-compatibility (fruit set without external pollen) are highly desirable ...
