Seedless fruits are produced through the processes of either stenospermocarpy or parthenocarpy, and they are a more commercially valuable product than fruits with seeds. Stenospermocarpy is the production of fruit by fertilization of the embryo followed by abortion of the embryo prior to fruit formation. The fruit will form with a slightly smaller size; this is due to the absence of hormones that are released from the seed after developing into a fruit. Parthenocarpy is different in that there is never fertilization of the ovule. The induction of fruit production in this experiment is caused by artificial parthenocarpy, which involves the stimulation of the growth of a fruit using both natural and artificial plant hormones. In this project, Brassica rapa are exposed to 3 different plant growth hormones to determine whether or not these hormones will yield virgin fruits, and how different hormones at different amounts will affect the production of parthenocarpic fruit.
