To clarify the effect of various seed parents on frequency distribution of parthenocarpic characteristic among progenies of fig. (Ficus carica L.), selected fig. cultivars were pollinated with pollen from incomplete parthenocarpic caprifig. cv. Caprifig. 6085. After separating the seedlings into a caprifig. or a commonfig. type, the occurrence of parthenocarpy in the first or second crops was investigated. (1) In the first crop of caprifig. type, a high frequency of parthenocarpy was found in progenies from San Pedro-type cultivar, whereas the Common-type cultivar only set a fair number of parthenocarpic fruit in the first crop. (2) In the second crop, the common-type cultivar produced progenies with a high frequency of parthenocarpic fruit. (3) Almost no parthenocarpic seedlings were produced when a nonparthenocarpic Smyrna-typed cultivar was used as a seed parent
