Seedless grapes are a product of stenospermocarpy. Long word, huh?

It means the flower gets pollinated and the embryo (the seed) starts forming but after a little while, due to a genetic defect, it "commits suicide" and we're left with the grape and only the shadow of a seed inside it. Such grapes are propagated asexually by rooting cuttings or with tissue cultures.
