What do seedless fruit grow from if they are seedless?

Answer 1

Most of the time, seedless fruits come from plants that are vegetatively propagated; they are often cuttings that are grafted to a "normal" rootstock. There are some fruits where seeds do occur, but they are simply vestigal, and would not grow if they were to be planted. Seedless watermelons are a good example of this. The seeds obviously come from plants that DO make seeds; it's a trick of hybridization.

Answer 2

You can get new plants of a seedless variety by any of the many asexual propagation methods. One example is that a seedless orange variety can be grafted on rough lemon which is not seedless.

Answer 3

They are not really seedless. What this means is that the fruit has been genetically altered to produce very tiny seeds that are hardly noticable, but the seeds are there.

Answer 4

According to my earth science teacher; seedless fruit doesn't just grow seedless. because of our advances in science we are able to genetically alter fruits structure so that we CAN grow them [sorta] seedless!!

in other words, we grow them all funky

Answer 5

Biologically, the term is extremely contradictory, on the grounds that culmination are oftentimes defined (in a botanical sense) as mature ovaries containing seeds. Seedless culmination can boost in a single of two procedures: the two the fruit develops with none fertilization (parthenocarpy), or pollination triggers fruit progression however the ovules or embryos abort without generating mature seeds (stenospermocarpy). Seedless culmination of banana and watermelon are produced on triploid flora, whose 3 gadgets of chromosomes forestall meiosis from going on and for this reason do no longer produce fertile gametes. Such flora can upward thrust up via spontaneous mutation or via hybridization between diploid and tetraploid persons of a similar or distinctive species. some species, including pineapple and cucumber, produce seedless fruit if no longer pollinated, yet produce seeded fruit if pollination happens. lacking seeds, and hence the skill to propagate via the fruit, the flora are oftentimes propagated vegetatively from cuttings, via grafting, or contained in terms of bananas, from "domestic dogs" (offsets). In such situations, the ensuing flora are genetically same clones. in assessment, seedless watermelons are grown from seeds. those seeds are produced via crossing diploid and tetraploid lines of watermelon, with the ensuing seeds generating sterile triploid flora. Fruit progression is extra on via pollination and those flora would desire to be grown alongside a diploid stress to offer pollen. One draw back of maximum seedless flora is an substantial help interior the quantity of genetic variety interior the species. As genetically same clones, a pest or ailment that has effects on one individual is in all probability to have the capacity to affecting each comparable to that particular. to illustrate, nearly all of commercially produced bananas are cloned from a single source, the Cavendish cultivar, and those flora are at present threatened international via a newly found fungal ailment to which they are surprisingly vulnerable.

Answer 6

Some plants like bananas and pineapples reproduce naturally in nature. Bananas spread through their roots, these are called rhizomes. Pineapples can reproduce through their crowns, the spiky part of the fruit. If you soak the spiky part in water it will grow roots, once the roots have reached a decent size you can plant in soil. Manmade techniques are called propogation, part of the original plant is cut off and rooted.

Answer 7

two methods to propagate:
cuttings: either leaf or branch or twigs depends on the way to prepare propagation area.
clone : by cell propagation

Answer 8

I knew this cloning ,( related to excrement type word ),would go too far.
