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 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.

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 ReportsThe 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.

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna - dead end or breakthrough? [PDF]
New PhytolSummary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Inheritance of parthenocarpy in gynoecious cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivar PPC-2
Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2017 The gynoecious and parthenocarpic inbred line, Pant Parthenocarpic Cucumber-2 (PPC- 2) was crossed with Indian monoecious and non-parthenocarpic cultivar Pusa Uday to develop F1, F2, B1 and B2 to determine the inheritance of parthenocarpy.The crop was ...
