Solution

Dear student,
Auxin along with gibberellin induces parthenocarpy by stimulating signalling pathways where ARF (auxin responsive factor) binds to the receptor and activates pathways that induces gene expression which results in activation of meristem cell and other structural cells forming fruits.
