A genome-wide association study on the seedless phenotype in banana (Musa spp.) reveals the potential of a selected panel to detect candidate genes in a vegetatively propagated crop [PDF]
, 2016 Banana (Musa sp.) is a vegetatively propagated, low fertility, potentially hybrid and polyploid crop. These qualities make the breeding and targeted genetic improvement of this crop a difficult and long process.

Fluorescein-induced Parthenocarpy [PDF]
Nature, 1945 PARTHENOCARPY can be induced in, among other plants, the common edible members of Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae by artificial treatment of the unfertilized ovary with pollens of a different family1, pollen extracts2,3, many growth-promoting substances like indole-acetic acid3,4, and even manganese salts5.

BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Parthenocarpy is an excellent agronomic trait that enables crops to set fruit in the absence of pollination and fertilization, and therefore to produce seedless fruit. Although parthenocarpy is widely recognized as a hormone-dependent process,

A TILLING allele of the tomato Aux/IAA9 gene offers new insights into fruit set mechanisms and perspectives for breeding seedless tomatoes [PDF]
, 2015 Parthenocarpy is a desired trait in fruit crops; it enables fruit set under environmental conditions suboptimal for pollination, and seedless fruits represent a valuable consumer product.

Auxin Gradients Determine Reproductive Development in Pea (Pisum sativum). [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Auxins are involved in the regulation of fruit set and development; however, the role of IAA is unclear in pea (Pisum sativum) since the endogenous auxin 4‐Cl‐IAA appears to be the auxin stimulating ovary (pericarp) growth. To further understand the role of auxins during fruit development, auxin localization, quantitation, transport, and gene ...

The Potential Of High-Resolution BAC-FISH In Banana Breeding [PDF]
, 2009 The genetic complexity in the genus Musa has been subject of study in many breeding programs worldwide. Parthenocarpy, female sterility, polyploidy in different cultivars and limited amount of genetic and genomic information make the production of new ...

Acta Agrobotanica, 2015 It was found that parthenocarpy could be induced by morphactin IT 3456 (0.5 and 1 ppm) in prior emasculated flowers, those left to free-pollination and even flowers pollinated with the pollen of control plants (New Yorker). When morphactin IT 3456 in 0.5

Pacific Bananas: Complex Origins, Multiple Dispersals? [PDF]
, 2008 This paper reviews recent genetic evidence for the origins of the traditional cultivated bananas of the Pacific, and shows that they are unexpectedly complex. Current assumption of their prevailing west-to-east spread from Southeast Asia into the Pacific
