Does anyone who know how many genes control parthenoecapy? Previous study of satsuma mandarin as seed parent, the result in favors of at least two co-dominant gene govern parthenocarpy. The detail function for each gene related to parthenocarpy is not clear. How should we consider the mechanism of parthenocarpy in citrus?
There will be no clear to say the no. genes when its related to parthenoecapy because that will be regulating by different Transcription factors considering that if you have the data you can do the regulatory study by systems biology approach.
Thank you for your advice. Like tomato, the parthenocarpy is controlled by a recessive gene, and in cucumber it is governed by one to several genes depending on the origin. Therefore, I wonder whether in citrus that the detail number of genes exists or not.
