Induction of Parthenocarpy in Rosa Canina and Diospyros Lotus by the application of growth regulators

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

The effect of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) applications on parthenocarpic fruit set in Rosa canina and Diospyros lotus was investigated. GA3 induced parthenocarpic fruit set in both plants, but IAA only in D. lotus. Maturation of seedless fruits was earlier than the seeded fruits. GA3 caused a decrease in the fresh mass and size of both fruits. IAA induced an increase in the fresh mass and size in parthenocarpic fruit of D. lotus.
