Abstract

Abstract Flowers of caged ‘Winter Nelis’ pear ( Pyrus communis L.) set parthenocarpic fruit that persisted until maturity after a single treatment with the gibberellin GA 3 , GA 3 + CaCl 2 or the pear gibberellin GA 45 . Cytex (a zeatin-like cytokinin), abscisic acid (ABA), GA 9 , GA 17 and GA 25 were ineffective. The persisting fruits treated with GA 3 or GA 3 + CaCl 2 were significantly smaller than the controls and the GA 3 + CaCl 2 treated fruits were significantly smaller than those treated with GA 45 .
