When the development of fruit occurs without fertilization, is known as Parthenocarpy.
In some plants, however, the fruit develops without fertilization, a phenomenon is known as parthenocarpy.
Parthenocarpic fruit has advantages over seeded fruit, longer shelf life and greater consumer appeal. SEEDLESS FRUIT such as navel oranges is propagated asexually, usually by grafting. Parthenogenesis occurs when there is less availability of functional eggs or sperms or when pollination fails to occur.
