Concha Gómez-Mena from @ibmcp.bsky.social closes the first day session at the #SOLRUB2025. She talks about #parthenocarpy in tomatoes. There are three types of parthenocarpy described. She focused in the mechanism produced by the anthers (male-sterile mutants).

One of the most significant developments in banana domestication was the emergence of parthenocarpy, a trait that allows fruit to develop without fertilization. Over time, farmers selectively propagated plants that naturally exhibited parthenocarpy, leading to the development of seedless bananas.

Bananas reproduce through a natural process called parthenocarpy, which allows them to develop fruit without pollination or seeds. Unlike wild bananas that have large seeds, commercial varieties like the Cavendish are seedless, making them easier to eat and grow.

How do plants with seedless fruit reproduce?
Plants are capable of producing seedless fruit through a process called parthenocarpy, and humans have long leveraged it in agriculture.

Is that like an embedded second tomato?? Some weird genetic hiccup with that batch of seed? In peppers when you get that baby pepper inside the other pepper it's "parthenocarpy" or the formation of fruit without fertilization (had to look that up).
