* Most commercial seedless grape cultivars, such as 'Thompson Seedless', are seedless not because of parthenocarpy but because of [[stenospermocarpy]].<ref>Mullins, M., Bouquet, A., Edward, L. (1992). {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wnNvmRjfxgQC&q=viticulture+stenospermocarpy&pg=PA75|title=''Biology of the grapevine''|isbn=9780521305075|last1=Mullins|first1=Michael G.|last2=Bouquet|first2=Alain|last3=Williams|first3=Larry E.|date=1992-07-16|publisher=Cambridge University Press }}.

* Parthenocarpy is sometimes claimed to be the equivalent of [[parthenogenesis]] in animals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bartleby.com/65/pa/partheno.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080628154204/http://www.bartleby.com/65/pa/partheno.html|title=parthenogenesis. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-07|archivedate=28 June 2008|work=bartleby.com}}</ref> That is incorrect because parthenogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction, with embryo formation without fertilization, and parthenocarpy involves fruit formation, without seed formation. The plant equivalent of parthenogenesis is [[apomixis]].
