    Seedless grapes are seedless because the seed aborts during development, termed
    stenspermocarpy. You can see the remnant of the aborted seed(s) in the grape.
    Grape breeders have found a way to remove the developing embryo when it is very
    small to prevent it from aborting, termed embryo rescue. They can then raise
    seedless grapes from the rescued embryos to use in breeding new types of
    seedless grapes. For vineyards, seedless grapes are grafted.

    Because the seed aborts, seedless grapes do not enlarge as much as seeded
    grapes. The seed produces plant hormones that cause fruit enlargement. To
    increase their size, seedless grapes are sprayed with the plant hormone,
    gibberellic acid, which allows them to reach normal size.

    Fruits become seedless, termed parthenocarpy, in a variety of ways. Bananas are
    seedless because they are triploid. Triploid plants cannot undergo meiosis, a
    process necessary for sexual seed formation. Pineapples are seedless because
    they are self-infertile, meaning they cannot set seed when they self pollinate.
    To assure that pineapples are seedless, only one variety is grown, so only self
    pollination is possible. Persimmon trees are either male or female. If no male
    trees are nearby to provide pollination, then fruits are seedless. Naval
    oranges all come from a tree that arose as a mutation. Seedless watermelons are
    also triploid but are grown from seeds that occur when a diploid and tetraploid
    are crossed.

    Seedless fruit are very desirable because many fruits have hard or hard-to-
    digest seeds. Genetic engineers have come up with several ways to incorporate
    genes into plants to make the fruit seedless. Therefore, it may soon be
    possible to have seedless fruit of almost any species.
