Involvement of ethylene in the parthenocarpic development of Cavili fruit. (A) Comparison of ovary/fruit growth between the parthenocarpic cv. Cavili (bisexual and unpollinated flowers) and the non-parthenocarpic cv. Tosca (female and unpollinated flowers). (B) Comparison of ethylene production in unpollinated ovaries/fruits of Cavili and Tosca (C) Expression of ethylene biosynthesis, perception and response genes in unpollinated ovaries of Cavili and Tosca at 3 DPA. (D) Effects of ethylene releasing (ethephon) and blocking reagents (AVG and STS) on the percentage of bisexual parthenocarpic flowers in Cavili and Tosca. Different letters indicate statistical differences between treatments within each cultivar (p ≤ 0.05; n = 15; lowercase Tosca; uppercase, Cavili).
