Detailed explanation-1: -Parthenocarpy refers to the development of fruit without fertilization. The process produces a sterile fruit that lacks seeds. This means that the pollination results in a production of berries that are completely seedless (Colova-Tsolova et al., 2003). Parthenocarpic seedless berries are mostly small.

Detailed explanation-2: -parthenocarpy, development of fruit without fertilization. The fruit resembles a normally produced fruit but is seedless. Varieties of the pineapple, banana, cucumber, grape, orange, grapefruit, persimmon, and breadfruit exemplify naturally occurring parthenocarpy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization of seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -If an ovary develops into fruit without fertilization, it is called parthenocarpic fruit. Parthenocarpy (literally meaning virgin fruit) is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilization of ovules. The fruit is therefore seedless. All other fruits are formed as a result of fertilisation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Silencing of SlAucsia genes causes parthenocarpic development of the fruit. Aucsia-silenced tomato plants are characterized by facultative parthenocarpy, producing seedless fruits when flowers are emasculated.
