If one can induce parthenocarpy through the application of growth substances, which fruits would you select to induce parthenocarpy and why?


There are certain species like banana in which fruits develop without fertilization and such fruits are called parthenocarpic fruits. Such fruits are seedless.


Parthenocarpy can be induced through the application of growth hormones. So, the seedless fruits which are economically important like banana, grapes, pineapples, etc can be developed using this technique. The fruits with edible seeds like pomegranate can’t be developed using this technique.
