Partitioning Apomixis Components to Understand and Utilize Gametophytic Apomixis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Apomixis is a method of reproduction to generate clonal seeds and offers tremendous potential to fix heterozygosity and hybrid vigor. The process of apomictic seed development is complex and comprises three distinct components, viz., apomeiosis (leading ...

Options for Engineering Apomixis in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 In plants, embryogenesis and reproduction are not strictly dependent on fertilization. Several species can produce embryos in seeds asexually, a process known as apomixis.

Apomictic Malus plants exhibit abnormal pollen development [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Apomixis is the asexual reproduction through seeds that leads to the production of genetically uniform progeny. It has become an important tool in plant breeding because it facilitates the retention of genotypes with desirable traits and allows seeds to ...

Evolution of an Apomixis-Specific Allele Class in Supernumerary Chromatin of Apomictic Boechera [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Asexual reproduction through seeds in plants (i.e., apomixis) is a heritable trait, and apomixis- linked loci have been identified in multiple species. However, direct identification of genomic elements is typically hindered as apomixis-linked loci and ...

A sexual/apomictic consensus linkage map of Eragrostis curvula at tetraploid level [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Apomixis is an asexual reproduction process that allows plants to bypass meiosis and fertilization, resulting in clonal seeds that are genetically identical to the maternal genotype.

Phylogenomics identifies parents of naturally occurring tetraploid bananas [PDF]
Botanical StudiesBackground Triploid bananas are almost sterile. However, we succeeded in harvesting seeds from two edible triploid banana individuals (Genotype: ABB) in our conservation repository where various wild diploid bananas were also grown.

Variability of Reproduction Pathways in the Central-European Populations of Hawthorns with Emphasis on Triploids [PDF]
Plants, 2022 The role of apomeiosis, parthenogenesis, and pseudogamy in the asexual reproduction of some plant groups has not been fully elucidated in relation to species diversification.
