Natural Parthenocarpic Nature of Diospyros melanoxylen

[Rajkumar Yadav]

I am Dr Rajkumar Yadav, I have found a tree of Diospyros melanoxylon with seedless fruit in wild condition of Gujarat. There was only one individual available. I found all the fruit of this plant was seedless. So I request to the expert that can i classify it a new variety of Diospyros melanoxylon?

Thanks, Rajkumar ji,

I hope some knowledgeable member clarifies this.

However, as a layman, I do not think this is a sufficient reason for one to make it a variety.

Dear All,

I feel seed setting in an individual/ population can depend on various factors like soil, stress, genetics, hormones etc. hence it may not form a basis for creation of a variety. some morphological adaptation/ variation is necessary. I feel a population of few numbers has to be observed before coming to any conclusion.
