Fruit is a reproductive organ that plays an important role in plants for plant propagation and seed dispersal. Seeds will be formed due to the process of pollination and fertilization. In some types of fruit, seed in the fruit is not expected, therfore recently many study have been conducted to develop seedless fruit (parthenocarpic fruit). Seedless fruit consists of two main groups namely natural and artificial partenocarpic.Bananas, tomatoes, and mangosteen are examples of natural parthenocarpy plants. Artificial parthenokarpi fruit can be developed in several methods including the use of plant hormone i.e. auksin or gibberellin, pollen iridiation, changes in chromosome number, gene silencing, gene modification, and genome editing tools. In this review, it is explained about the formation of parthenocarp fruit through a biotechnology approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
