Fruit set is the process by which the ovary develops into a fruit and is an important factor in
determining fruit yield. Fruit set is induced by two hormones, auxin and gibberellin, and the …

Parthenocarpy is an important agricultural trait that not only produces seedless fruits, but
also increases the rate of the fruit set under adverse environmental conditions. The study of …

The extreme sensitivity of the microsporogenesis process to moderately high or low
temperatures is a major hindrance for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) sexual reproduction …

Fruit initiation following fertilization in angiosperms is strictly regulated by phytohormones. In
tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), auxin and gibberellin (GA) play central roles in promoting …

Auxin response factors (ARFs) encode transcriptional factors that function in the regulation
of plant development processes. A tomato ARF gene, SlARF5, was observed to be …

In flowering plants, auxin produced in seeds after fertilization promotes fruit initiation. The
application of auxin to unpollinated ovaries can also induce parthenocarpy (seedless fruit …

WRKY transcription factors are involved in various processes, ranging from plant growth to
abiotic and biotic stress responses. Group I WRKY members have been rarely reported …

Plant hormones (PH) adjust plant growth to environmental conditions such as nutrient
availability. Although responses of individual PH s to growth‐determining nutrient supplies …

The transition from flowering to fruit production, namely fruit set, is crucial to ensure
successful sexual plant reproduction. Although studies have described the importance of …

Parthenocarpy in a broad sense includes those processes that allow the production of
seedless fruits. Such fruits are favorable to growers, because they are set independently of …
