Types of Parthenocarpy | IBPS AFO #Shorts
• Parthenocarpy is the formation or development of fruits without fertilization.
• The term parthenocarpy was introduced by Noll in 1902.
• On the basis of pollination stimulus requirement, it is divided into stimulative and vegetative parthenocarpy.
• In stimulative parthenocarpy, fruit development requires pollination stimulus or application of pollen to the stigma, without fertilization taking place.
• Vegetative parthenocarpy occurs in unpollinated flowers naturally without pollination stimulus.
• Vegetative parthenocarpy is observed naturally in Banana, Fig, Pear, Pineapple, and certain Cucumber varieties.
