Abstract
Artificially induced parthenocarpic fruits of apples, pears and tomatoes, as well as seeded fruits treated with 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, frequently show symptoms of Ca deficiency and a low Ca content. It was concluded that auxins, probably produced by the seeds, play a significant role in Ca translocation into fruits. Exogenous indoleacetic acid but not 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid applications could replace the effect of seeds in this respect. Auxin transport, rather than auxin accumulation, seems to be necessary for Ca transport, as can be concluded from the effect of auxin transport inhibitors.
