Abstract In vitro development of parthenocarpic fruits of Crocus sativus L. was induced by culturing ovaries on MS agar medium supplemented with growth-regulators (2,4-D, GA3 and BAP). Amongh these, 2,4-D was the most effective in promoting fructification. The fructigenic activity was independent of both the stage at which the ovaries were excised (before, during or after anthesis) and pollination of the stigmas. Unlike the above compounds, abscisic acid inhibited fructification.
