Question

Fascination is a disorder of:

A.

Strawberry

B.

Banana

C.

Papaya

D.

Pineapple

Correct option is D

Fascination is a disorder that primarily affects Pineapple where abnormal growth and development occur, often leading to misshapen fruit.

Fasciation (or Fascination)

Definition: Abnormal flattening, broadening, or ribbon-like growth of the stem/inflorescence due to abnormal activity of the apical meristem.

In Strawberry 

Fasciation occurs, but it is not very common. Usually appears as cresting or flattened flower stalks. It causes some misshapen berries but is not a major disorder of commercial concern.

In Pineapple 

Fasciation is much more prominent and characteristic.

Leads to “multiple crowns” or “crested fruits”, which reduce fruit quality and market value.

Well-documented as a serious morphological disorder in pineapple production.
