Previously we identified several C. annuum genotypes that already show a certain level of parthenocarpy and the seedless fruits obtained from these genotypes often contain carpel-like structures. In the Arabidopsis bell mutant ovule integuments are transformed into carpels and we therefore carefully studied ovule development in C. annuum and correlated aberrant ovule development and carpelloid transformation with parthenocarpic fruit set. Results We identified several additional C. annuum genotypes with a certain level of parthenocarpy and confirmed a positive correlation between parthenocarpic potential and the development of carpelloid structures. Investigations into the source of these carpel-like structures showed that while the majority of the ovules in C. annuum gynoecia are unitegmic and anatropous several abnormal ovules were observed abundant at the top and base of the placenta with altered integument growth. Abnormal ovule primordia arose from the placenta and most likely transformed into carpelloid structures in analogy to the Arabidopsis bell mutant. When pollination was present fruit weight was positively correlated with seed number but in the
