Gibberellic acid induces parthenocarpy and increases fruit size in the ‘Gefner’ custard apple (Annona cherimola x Annona squamosa)

Abstract: The biological function of fruiting is to produce and disseminate seeds. However, seedless fruits have some advantages, including the ease of consumption and the increased added value of the final product and fruit quality. The present study aimed to evaluate the combined use of gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) and hand pollination with Annona squamosa pollen grains on fruit set and the physical and chemical parameters of 'Gefner' custard apple fruits. The experiment was performed in a commercial custard apple orchard… Show more

“…Recent studies indicate that among growth regulators, gibberellic acid is the most effective for fruiting, fruit size increase, and seedless fruit production of 'Gefner' atemoya trees. In the present study, it was observed that GA 3 doses between 1000 mg L -1 and 1500 mg L -1 applied in different moments in flowers and fruits promoted the production of seedless fruits with a pattern similar to artificially pollinated fruits Santos et al, 2016).…”

“…It was observed that the seedless fruits presented some deformities when compared to the fruits produced through artificial pollination (Figure 4). and Santos et al (2016) who worked with production of parthenocarpic fruits of atemoya observed the same irregularity in the shape of fruits.…”

“…GA3 yang diaplikasikan pada saat awal pembentukan buah mampu meningkatkan jumlah buah yang terbentuk (Yasmin, et al, 2014). Aplikasi GA3 dengan konsentrasi 1.500 ppm efisien untuk menghasilkan buah partenokarpi pada apel custard Gefner, serta menyebabkan peningkatan panjang buah, diameter buah, bobot buah dan memberikan tingkat rata-rata 90% fruit set (Santos et al, 2016).…”
