    Seedlessness is an important feature of some fruits of commerce. Commercial cultivars of bananas and pineapples are examples of seedless fruits. Some cultivars of citrus fruits (especially navel oranges), satsumas, mandarin oranges table grapes, grapefruit, and watermelons are valued for their seedlessness. In some species, seedlessness is the result of parthenocarpy, where fruits set without fertilization. Parthenocarpic fruit set may or may not require pollination. Most seedless citrus fruits require a pollination stimulus; bananas and pineapples do not. Seedlessness in table grapes results from the abortion of the embryonic plant that is produced by fertilization, a phenomenon known as stenospermocarpy which requires normal pollination and fertilization.[19]

    Neselba, I don't mind that you have to offer something to other forum members, but was it not better/more polite first to introduce yourself ?
    Your first 3 postings are pure advertisements.
    On this way you don't make me an interested forum customer.
    Better explain first who you are and why you join our forum (seems obvious now however :o )

    I'm thinking "Fruit of the Loom".
