Q. Development of fruit without fertilization is called

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2009

Solution:

Parthenocarpy is formation of fruit without prior fertilization of the flower by pollen. The resulting fruits are seedless and therefore do not contribute to the reproduction of the plant; examples are bananas and pineapples. Plant growth substances may have a role in this phenomenon which can be induced by auxins in the commercial production of tomatoes and other fruits.
