Q. Parthenocarpic fruit can be produced by the application of which of the following auxin?

Plant Growth and Development

Solution:

The term parthenocarpy refers to development of fruit without fertilisation. Such fruits, e.g. banana, pineapple are seedless but otherwise normal in appearance. The auxins ($IAA, IBA$ and $2, 4-D$) are applied in low concentration in a lanoline paste to the stigma of flower to induce parthenocarpy.
