Pineapples do occasionally produce true tiny black seed just below the peel of the fruit which can be found when the fruit is peeled but, in general, pineapples are highly self-incompatible (a general name for several genetic mechanisms in angiosperms, which prevent self-fertilization and thus encourage outcrossing.

Why do we have seedless fruits in banana and pineapple?

Many plants (including wild bananas) show parthenocarpy (producing a fruit without seeds). It is a seedless ‘true fruit’ therefore. PINEAPPLES are all of one species Ananas comosus. This is another ancient cultivar like the banana.

How does pineapple reproduce?

Propagation – Commercially the pineapple plant is propagated by vegetative material, an asexual reproduction, without new combinations of genes. However, sexual reproduction is feasible as seeds are produced in the fruits if cross pollination between cultivars occurs, naturally or under controlled conditions.

How do pineapple reproduce?

Pineapples use vegetative growth to reproduce through four different methods: slips, suckers, crowns, and ratoons. Slips are shoots that grow from the stem at the base of the fruit. Suckers grow from the leaf axils (bases).

Which fruit has no seeds answer?

Common varieties of seedless fruits include watermelons, tomatoes, grapes (such as Termarina rossa), and bananas.

Why are there fruits without seeds?

A seedless fruit could also result from fertilized ovules or embryos that abort without the production of mature seeds. It is known as stenospermocarpy. After pollination has triggered fruit development, the embryos or ovules fail to develop fully. The resulting fruits are therefore seedless.

Which fruit does not have any seed?

Common varieties of seedless fruits include watermelons, tomatoes, grapes (such as Termarina rossa), and bananas. Additionally, there are numerous seedless citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and limes.

Step 1 – Place the seeds in an glass container away from direct sunlight. Step 2 – Within 2-3 weeks, the seeds should begin to germinate and . Step 3 – Fill 2/3 of a small plastic cup with . Step 4 – Place the seeds of the pineapple under the soil, with the sprouts above it.

Do you have to wait for pineapples to grow up?

Suckers (or pups) and slips grow up and fruit a lot quicker. You may have to wait for your first top grown plants to produce such offspring. But if you live in a pineapple growing area you should be able to get hold of some suckers. Beg or steal them of one of the growers.
