Genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating parthenocarpy: Paradigms from cucumber and initial exploration in other Cucurbitaceae crops

Parthenocarpy, the ability to set fruit without pollination and fertilisation, is an important crop trait that helps stabilise yield in Cucurbits under unfavourable environmental or indoor farming conditions. While cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) is widely recognised as the primary model for parthenocarpy research...
