Abstract excerpt
Seedless fruits are highly marketable because they are easier to eat than fruits with seeds. 'Shijiwuhe' is a seedless pear cultivar that is a mutant derived from an F1 hybridization population ('Bartlett' x 'Yali'). Little is known about the key genes controlling seedless pear fruit. In this study, field experiments revealed that seedless 'Shijiwuhe' pear was not due to parthenocarpy, and that it was...
