How do they grow seedless fruit?

Answer 1

In some cases, they're varieties of the fruit that have miniscule infertile seeds, e.g. bananas - the fertile banana has huge seeds filling it and is inedible. They reproduce plants like this by cuttings etc.

In other cases, like seedless grapes & oranges etc., basically, the flower is tricked into thinking that it's been fertilised (with substances called auxins). Theis triggers the fruit into growing, but since the seed hasn't actually been fertilised, it doesn't develop. This is why seedless grapes sometimes have seeds in them, because an insect got to the flower and fertilised it before the farmer got round there with his chemicals.

Answer 2

The fruit usually isn't seedless...just that the seeds are so small that you don't see them. Seedless watermelon, for example, have seeds. So do navel oranges, and seedless grapes.

You'd have to be specific on the fruit to get a better answer, I'm afraid.

Answer 3

If you mean how did they come about, intensive cross-breeding until by chance they stumbled on a seedless fruit that didn't have laser beam eyes or super-strength.

If you mean how do they breed them, through cuttings. Though this is how a lot of seeded fruit is reproduced too.

Answer 4

Luckily, sex is only one method of propagating a species. There's also asexual reproduction. Aha, you're thinking, so that's how my parents did it. No, smartypants. Asexual reproduction means making copies of the parent plant by means of cuttings, grafting, and so on. The offspring plants have the advantage, from a horticultural standpoint, of being perfect genetic duplicates or clones of the parent plant. So once you've bred the ultimate rutabaga or what have you, you can crank out exact copies unto the hundredth generation. And people do just that. Some grape "cultivars," as human-bred (and often human-dependent) varieties are called, date from Roman times--that is, the plants we have today are exact genetic copies of ones first grown 2,000 years ago.

Answer 5

Initially from seeds of the seeded variety of fruit, once genetically deformed they have to takes cuttings to continue the deformity.

Answer 6

People change the genes and characteristics of the plant (or fruit) to produce them in specific and precise way. i.e. No seeds.

Answer 7

In the case of bananas they are grown from suckers which are offshoots of the tree.

Answer 8

They genetically modify them! Oh gotta love the fake fruit!!!! hehe!

Answer 9

just dig it up in soil and keep it moist it'll grow stems and grass-like leaves by time.

Answer 10

Surprise surprise they use seeds
