According to the Mad Scientist website, "Some types of seedless fruit, such as persimmon, seedless cucumber, and pineapple are not always seedless so can reproduce by seed." (http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/aug2001/998098549.Bt.r.html) Basically I guess not all that are produced are seedless. Some lucky or unlucky ones get seeds still. |

'Seedless' is relative. A seedless watermelon indeed has seeds, but these are unobjectionable in that you can digest them with no problems. Seedless cucumbers are touted to be 'burp-less', but cucumbers have never made me burp. The seeds in these fruits are immature at the time of picking. If you let them grow some more, they would develop some real seeds. Sometimes, these seeds will not sprout, because of some botanical for-profit magic. |

hi, I am a MS.c Plant Breeder and Genetic Eng., we produce the seedless fruits to make them unusable for farmers for regeneration and , and force them to buy the fruits from us each time they decide to plant a new garden or field. and make the fruits easier for eating by several methods same as changing the chromosome numbers and make them uncompatible and... actually, the seed consist of several part. when we make a seedless fruit, we cut the foetus (emberyo) generation but other parts same as endosperms and seed coat which extended from inner part of fruits, not the sexual part, will generate, so even after seedless fruit maturity, no vital seed will creat. but the skeleton of seed will form from ovary and ... tissues. so you see some thing like the seed but it is dead indeed. regards. |
