Morphactin-Induced Parthenocarpy in the Cucumber

Science, 1971
Parthenocarpy was induced in cucumber Cucumis sativus L. by foliar application of morphactin. Morphactin (chlorfluorenol) was most effective in inducing parthenocarpy when applied in the flowering stage, and the response was enhanced by prior treatment with Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid).

Parthenocarpy: Natural and artificial

The Botanical Review, 1942
That some plants produce fruits without seeds is a fact observed and recorded by the ancients, according to Sturtevant in 1890. These observers had their pet theories on how to produce seedless fruits, such as "fruits of all kinds may be grown without seeds by reversing the cion-rooting the top end of the cions", or by removing the pith from grapevines.

Parthenocarpy in Tomato

1991
Tomato is a self-pollinated crop and normally produces seeded fruits when fertilization takes place. The current cultivars set fruits within a narrow range of temperatures of 15° to 21°C (night) and 30° to 35°C (day). Beyond these range of temperatures generally there is no fruit set because of the lack of production of sufficient amounts of fertile ...

Parthenocarpy and Seed Production in Burseraceae

2009
Seed production is determined by biotic and abiotic factors; however, crop viability can be affected negatively by phenomenon such as parthenocarpy (production of seedless fruits). Bursera morelensis is a deciduous species endemic to Mexico that occurs in the Tehuacan Valley and illustrates the strong effect of parthenocarpy.

Parthenocarpy in crops.

2009
Fruit set and growth in the absence of fertilization (parthenocarpy) is a useful trait in plants grown for the value of their fruit. Auxins and gibberellins are widely used to spray flowers to chemically confer parthenocarpy. In recent years, genetic modifications of either auxin or gibberellin biology have been used to confer parthenocarpy to tomato ...

Molecular regulation and domestication of parthenocarpy in cucumber

Nature Plants
Parthenocarpy is a pivotal trait that enhances the yield and quality of fruit crops by enabling the development of seedless fruits. Here we unveil a molecular framework for the regulation and domestication of parthenocarpy in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).
