Title:
Effects of Growth Regulators on Fruit and Seed Development in Eggplant (Solanum Melongena L.)

Authors:
J. NOTHMANN and D. KOLLER

pp: 23-28

Abstract:
Treatments with gibberellin (GA₃) induced the development of completely seedless fruits during all seasons. The auxin-like substances, 2, 4-dicholorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and napthoxyacetic acid (NOA), induced the development of degenerated seeds, both in the period of normal seed development (summer) and in the period of climate-induced seedlessness (winter). The apparent cause of seed degeneration and of seedlessness, as affected by different factors, is discussed.
