Question

While eating watermelons, all of us wish it was seedless. As a plant physiologist can you suggest any method by which this can be achieved.

Short Note

Solution

Watermelons with no seeds are always preferable. Watermelons can be induced to produce seedless fruits by inducing parthenocarpy. Auxin and gibberellins can be sprayed on watermelon plants to achieve this.
