Parthenocarpy is induced by:
Correct answer: B. Auxins
- A. Gibberellins
- B. Auxins
- C. Cytokinins
- D. Abscisic acid
Explanation
Gibberellins is a plant hormone, however, it does not directly induce Parthenocarpy. Cytokinins are also another plant hormone but they can not induce Parthenocarpy because its main role is to focus on plant growth and development. Auxin is a plant hormone that can induce Parthenocarpy because it stimulates cell division and trigger the development by suppressing enzymes. This application of auxin to unpollinated flowers or developing fruits can mimic the signals associated with fertilization, leading to the initiation and development of seedless fruit.
