Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Spontaneous intrinsic parthenocarpy, attributed to endogenous phytohormones, occurred in the pear variety Conference.
- Intervention effect Pear trees treated with gibberellins and/or cytokinins produced fruits up to 10 percent larger than trees treated with auxins.
- Association Parthenocarpic pear fruits remained up to 12 percent smaller than fertilized fruits, depending on the year.
- Mechanism The authors suggest endogenous gibberellins do not act alone to induce parthenocarpy in pear, since gibberellin inhibitor treatments did not completely prevent parthenocarpic fruit initiation.
