Talk:Parthenocarpy

Pollinator: parthenocarpic is an adjective. I think this article should be moved to parthenocarpy, the noun (as your definition more or less indicates). Any objections? - Marshman 17:34, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Pollinator 20:09, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Should watermelons be added to the list? Or are the commercial "seedless watermelons" not technically parthenocarpic ?

The following sentence needs a reference or some examples: "Plants moved from one area of the world to another may not always be accompanied by their pollinating partner and the lack of pollinators has spurred human cultivation of parthenocarpic varieties." A lot of parthenocarpic cultivars require no pollination to start with so the statement may not be accurate. Plantguy 22:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I have found a ref that show how Auxin and Glibberin can induce parthenocarpy. But it doesnt said that it is commercialy used. It's a laboratory technique. It was used long time ago but nowdays it's not commercialy used.--Basile gp (talk) 17:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC) Autors : Juan C. Serrani, Mariano Fos, Alejandro Atarés, José L.

Parthenocarpy in Cannabis

See https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343988256_'Cannabis'_ontologies_I_Conceptual_issues_with_Cannabis_and_cannabinoids_terminology. Jojalozzo (talk) 23:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

strange (incomplete?) sentence

in 'Commercial importance', at the end of the first paragraph:

"It has been suggested that Cannabis could explain the difference in the plant's yields in active compounds.[5]"

is a quite unclear sentence - seems like parts are missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:3033:D:4604:1:2:C5A0:1CFD (talk) 18:46, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Made myself the very same remark.I'm glad to not be alone Klinfran (talk) 12:21, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Indeed! I think the edit now fixes it. Teluobir (talk) 09:37, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Notes on the statement "The oldest known cultivated plant is a parthenocarpic fig"

There is some debate about this discovery so I'm not sure whether this statement should be so definitive. Specifically I'm aware of this comment on the original paper critiquing it and this response to that comment defending the original conclusions.

I tried integrating some of these qualifications into the article but since I'm new to editing this website I thought I would raise the issue here instead. AMC.learner (talk) 10:22, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
