Parthenocarpy is a process of developing fruits without involving fertilisation/seed formation. Therefore, the seedless varieties of economically important fruits like orange, banana, watermelon, lemon, etc. are produced using this technique. This technique involves inducing fruit formation by the application of plant growth hormones such as auxins.
