If one can induce parthenocarpy through the application of growth substances, which fruits would you select to induce parthenocarpy and why?
Explanation When fruits are produced by the process of parthenocarpy, they are seedless. Thus, if parthenocarpy is to be induced, it would be induced in such fruits which have too many seeds and the quality of which will not be altered if the seeds were to be removed. The seeds of such fruits are usually useless for the consumer. Such economically important fruits would be oranges, melons, lemons, papayas, grapes, etc. Parthenocarpy is the process of production of seedless fruits. Since the process of fertilization does not take place, no seeds are produced. It is induced by the application of growth hormones like auxins.
