Seedless Tomato Miracle & The Magic of Parthenocarpy

#seedless #parthenogenesis #seedlesstomato
To understand my work, you gotta understand the reason it's important. This video attempts to explain parthenocarpy. It gives common foods we eat that are parthenocarpic, seedless, and then goes on to explain the positives and perceived negatives. Below, you will find many scientific articles on parthenocarpy by scientists from all over the world. As I always suggest, do your own research and form your own opinions.

My cultivars will have "bear" as part of the name. It's a reference to the improved ability to set fruit or bear fruit. It's not about the animal! The simple takeaway is that my lines do not need bees to pollinate them. There's no need for pollination so the production of fruit is no longer limited by hot weather, colder weather, and highly humid conditions. They'll grow in Florida, the US South, and even in Alaska.

Many nations all over the world have been trying to "find" and breed the magic perfect parthenocarpic tomato lines since the early 20th century. Yep, been so many decades of searching and still till this day! Read for yourself and come to your own conclusions. More to come.

** Of importance as it was approved by James R. Baggett, the originator and breeder of all of OSU's parthenocarpic public lines today. It's true insight into their breeding thoughts and the only circulated parthenocarpic varieties out there of pat-2.
