Vedclass · Answer

(C) The development of fruits without fertilization is known as parthenocarpy,and such fruits are called parthenocarpic fruits. Parthenocarpic fruits are typically seedless. In horticultural practices,parthenocarpy can be artificially induced by applying plant growth regulators,specifically auxins and gibberellins,to the stigma or ovaries of the flowers. These hormones mimic the signals usually provided by developing seeds,stimulating the ovary to grow into a fruit even in the absence of fertilization. Therefore,treating the plants with low concentrations of gibberellic acid and auxins is a standard method to produce parthenocarpic tomato fruits.
