- Occasionally, however, a mutation occurs that allows fruit to develop from unfertilized female flowers, a process known as parthenocarpy.
Derivativesadjective Botany When MdPI expression is removed flowers lack both petals and stamens and parthenocarpic fruits develop. Example sentencesExamples - Sterile plants produce microspores aborted in tetrads, no visible pollen shed, and parthenocarpic pods bearing no seeds.
