Decoding the molecular mechanism of parthenocarpy in Musa spp. through protein–protein interaction network
Abstract Banana, one of the most important staple fruit among global consumers is highly sterile owing to natural parthenocarpy. Identification of genetic factors responsible for parthenocarpy would facilitate the conventional breeders to improve the seeded accessions. We have constructed Protein–pr...
