      'Fertilisation is not an obligatory event for fruit production in certain plants'. Explain the statement.

    Answer:

These are seedless fruits, such as pomegranate, grapes, etc. Flowers of these plants are sprayed by a growth hormone that induces fruit development even though fertilizationhas not occurred. The ovules of such fruits, however, fail to develop into seeds.
