Abstract excerpt
The parthenocarpic fruit ( pat) gene of tomato is a recessive mutation conferring parthenocarpy, which is the capability of a plant to set seedless fruits in the absence of pollination and fertilization. Parthenocarpic mutants offer a useful method to regulate fruit production and a suitable experimental system to study ovary and fruit development. In order to map the Pat locus, two populations segregating from...
