“…Nonetheless, in a number of fruit species included in the Citrus genus, seedless fruit production (parthenocarpy) in the absence of fertilization, or as a result of embryo abortion, could occur (Koltunow, 1993;Vardi et al, 2008;Ye et al, 2009). In citrus species, different factors are associated with parthenocarpy such as polyploidy (Chen et al, 2004), male sterility (Hu et al, 2007;Yamamoto and Tominaga, 2002), self-incompatibility (Yamamoto and Tominaga, 2002;Ye et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2012), abortion of ovule or embryo sac (Xiao et al, 2007;Zhou et al, 2011), adverse climatic factors including extreme, and both low and high temperatures (Hedhly, 2011;Thakur et al, 2010) in addition to hormone application (Talon et al, 1992) and neutron irradiation, 'x' or gamma rays (Bermejo et al, 2011;Vardi et al, 2008) , all of which could promote seedless fruit production.…”
