How do seedless fruit grow?
In: Biology
Some fruits are “ripe” for human consumption prior to actually being fully developed, and science has pushed that a little further. Seedless watermelon, as stated in a proper post, are a good example of this.
The other kind are fruit varieties that are capable of producing fruit without successful “sex” (term I’m using only for simplification), but because of the lack of successful “sex”, the fruit so created is seedless. These fruits are varieties that are “parthenocarpic” plants. As mentioned in another poster’s reply, planting plants that are parthenocarpic in proximity to only genetically identical clones creates a situation in which they cannot reproduce correctly, causing them to generate seedless fruit.
