Abstract Parthenocarpy is a valuable trait for greenhouse squash production, but the molecular basis of fruit set without pollination or fertilization remains unclear. The ethylene-insensitive etr2b mutation confers parthenocarpic fruit development, indicating that ethylene acts as a negative regulator of fruit set. …

Abstract In monoecious species, female flowering constitutes the developmental process that determines the onset and production of fruit and is therefore closely related to crop yield. This article presents the identification and phenotypic and molecular characterization of myb62, an ethylmethane sulfonate loss-of-function …
