Abstract
AS has been previously reported1, parthenocarpy may be induced in the two non-apomictic species, R. rugosa Thunb. and R. spinosissima L., by means of α-naphthaleneacetic acid, α-naphthaleneacetamide and 2 : 4 : 5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Similar experiments were carried out in an attempt to induce parthenocarpic development in a third non-apomictic species, R. arvensis.
