Genotype-specific evaluation of the percentage of seedless fruits and carpelloids structure (CLS) development. A-H: Correlation between the percentage of parthenocarpic fruits (only those fruits were counted that reached at least 50% of the weight of seeded fruits) and the mean CLS number (unfilled symbol) and weight (g) (filled symbol) per fruit in the genotypes Parco (n= 18-24) (■, □), California Wonder (n= 18-24) (♦,◊), Riesen v. Californien (n= 18-24) (▲,Δ), Bruinsma Wonder (n= 92-146) (●,o), and Line 3 (n= 18-24) (▼, ∇), at normal 20/18°C D/N (A-D) and low 16/14°C D/N (E-H) temperatures following hand pollination (Poll; C,D,G,H), or prevention of pollination by applying lanolin paste on the stigma at anthesis (Prevent-Poll; A,B,E,F). The regression lines are based on the means of the five Capsicum annuumgenotypes.
