The effect of jasmonic acid (JA), applied alone or in combination with gibberellin A3 (GA₃), on the induction of seedlessness in ‘Neo Muscat’ (Vitis vinifera) was investigated. Endogenous JA levels in the florets of ‘Neo Muscat’ and ‘Delaware’ (Vitis vinifera x Vitis labrusca) were also studied. The proportion of seedless berries induced by application of GA₃ alone 12 d before full bloom (DBB) was 17.0%, and at 6 DBB it was 62.7%. The proportion of seedless berries induced by GA₃ + JA applied 6 DBB increased significantly with increasing JA concentration, while pollen germination decreased quadratically with increasing JA concentration. JA did not affect seed number per berry or the seed’s fresh weight. Treatment with JA alone also induced seedlessness effectively. Although the fresh weight of the seedless berries induced by the application of GA₃ + JA 12 DBB decreased quadratically with increasing JA concentration, there were no significant differences between the treatments at 6 DBB. Fruit soluble solids and titratable acidity were not affected by JA. There were no obvious differences in the amounts of JA in the florets of ‘Delaware’ and ‘Neo Muscat’.
