In botany, parthenocarpy means, the maturation of the ovaries without the process of fertilization and produces fruits with good economic quality, it results in the formation of “virgin fruit”. In parthenocarpy, seeds are not produced at all, so it is the process of seedless fruit formation without fertilization. In parthenocarpy, seeds are not produced at all, so it is the process of seedless fruit formation without fertilization. Examples are:- Banana, Grapes, Watermelon, Naval orange, Pear, Fig, etc.
Apomixis is the production of seeds without fertilization. In apomixis, seed production takes place without the fertilization of the egg cell and the sperm nucleus. Apomixis is an asexual method of reproduction. Seed formation takes place without zygote formation. All the seeds formed through apomixis are genetically similar.
