Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “Although this scheme remains to be fully validated, it is consistent with the development of parthenocarpic fruit when the auxin level in the ovules/ovary is increased by the overexpression of genes of auxin biosynthesis (Ficcadenti et al., 1999; Pandolfini et al., 2002; Carmi et al., 2003) or by ap”
Induction of Seedlessness in Citrus: From Classical Techniques to Emerging Biotechnological Approaches (2008, background): “Genetic parthenocarpy can also be artificially established with exogenous genes, controlled by ovary- or ovule-specific promoters that drive the oversensitization to, or the accumulation of, auxins in carpel tissues before anthesis (Carmi et al., 1997, 2003; Ficcadenti et al., 1999).”
Transgenic parthenocarpic eggplants: superior germplasm for increased winter production (2000, background): “The chimeric gene DefH9-iaaM ,w hich is expressed specifically in the placenta and ovules, has been shown to cause parthenocarpic development in transgenic tobacco, eggplant [22] and tomato [ 7 ].”
