BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Seedless fruit can be obtained through parthenocarpy if the fruits develop without fertilization and by stenospermocarpy if the seeds abort after fertilization [3]. In the latter case, the fruits contain traces of the aborted seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pineapple, banana, cucumber, grape, watermelon, orange, grapefruit, pear, fig are some examples of Parthenocarpy. These develop without fertilization and are often seedless.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parthenocarpy could be defined as a process by which fruits are produced without the process of fertilization of ovules. A parthenocarpic fruit is devoid of embryo and endosperm and therefore does not have any seeds. That is why they are also known as seedless or virgin fruits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seedless fruits and vegetables are grown by stimulating the stigma of the flower with the help of phytohormones, which trigger the ovary in development. It is a parthenocarpic mode of development.
