Title
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLLINATION AND PARTHENOCARPY IN THE 'CONFERENCE' PEAR PRODUCTION
M. Quinet; A.-L. Jacquemart Acta Horticulturae 2015. doi:10.17660/actahortic.2015.1094.45
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Spontaneous intrinsic parthenocarpy due to endogenous phytohormones occurred in 'Conference' pear.
- Intervention effect Pollen deposit, even if incompatible, increased the number of fruits initiated in 'Conference' pear by 10 to 40% depending on climatic conditions.
- Intervention effect Phytohormone treatments did not particularly increase fruit weight and fruit size in relation to extrinsic parthenocarpy.
- Observation Depending on the year, parthenocarpic fruits remained up to 12% smaller than fertilized fruits.
- Intervention effect Gibberellin inhibitor (paclobutrazol) treatment did not completely prevent parthenocarpic fruit initiation.
- Mechanism The authors suggest endogenous gibberellins do not act alone to induce parthenocarpy.
