Assessment of parthenocarpy in two southern highbush blueberry breeding populations.

Caption

Assessment of parthenocarpy in two southern highbush blueberry breeding populations. (A) The parthenocarpy treatment included emasculation of flowers and exclusion of pollinators for 10 flowers of each genotype to prevent any possibility of pollination or fertilization. (B) Facultative parthenocarpic genotypes yielded seedless fruits after emasculation treatment. (C) The same genotype yielded seeded fruits from open pollination in untreated flowers. (D) The raw phenotypic distribution of parthenocarpy for independent and combined populations is presented in a violin plot. (E) Pie charts illustrate the proportion of individuals in each population displaying parthenocarpic fruit set of ≥10%.
