- Yes non-fertlised fruit development and apomixis both are different methods.
$\Rightarrow \quad$ Importance of non-fertilised fruit development :
(i) The method of producing fruits without fertilisation of ovule is called non fertilised fruit development. This method is used for development of seedless fruits commercially eg. Banana, Grapes. (ii) This method is more useful in fruit juice industries.
Importance of Apomixis : $(i)$ During Apomixis neither chromosomes separate nor connect. So characteristics are maintained till many generations. $(ii) $ Commercial hybrid production can be easily explained because there is no need for isolation process for either maintaining parent offspring or to separate first generation.
$(iii)$ Adventive embryoni is used for typical root mass and to produce virusless species
