A Full-Length Reference Floral Transcriptome of Boehmeria tricuspis Provides Insights into Apomeiosis and Polyploidy [PDF]
International Journal of Genomics, 2019 Boehmeria tricuspis (Hance) Makino constitutes a hardy herbaceous or shrubby perennial native to East Asia that includes different ploidy levels and reproductive modes (diplosporous to sexual).

Asexual thalli originated from sporophytic thalli via apomeiosis in the green seaweed Ulva [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractApomixis is an asexual reproduction system without fertilization, which is an important proliferation strategy for plants and algae. Here, we report on the apomeiosis in the green seaweed Ulva prolifera, which has sexual and obligate asexual populations.

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 ...

Inheritance of apomeiosis (diplospory) in fleabanes (Erigeron, Asteraceae) [PDF]
Heredity, 2004 Unreduced egg formation (apomeiosis) in flowering plants is rare except when it is coupled with parthenogenesis to yield gametophytic apomixis via apospory or diplospory. Results from genetic mapping studies in diverse apomictic taxa suggest that apomeiosis and parthenogenesis are genetically linked, a finding that is compatible with the conventional ...

A Review of Unreduced Gametes and Neopolyploids in Alfalfa: How to Fill the Gap between Well-Established Meiotic Mutants and Next-Generation Genomic Resources [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The gene flow mediated by unreduced gametes between diploid and tetraploid plants of the Medicagosativa-coerulea-falcata complex is pivotal for alfalfa breeding.

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.

Apomeiosis inAcinetospora (phaeophyceae, ectocarpales) [PDF]
Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1986 Acinetospora crinita from the Mediterranean Sea has been studied in laboratory cultures. The plants formed monospores and unilocular sporangia. Both monospores and zoids from unilocular sporangia developed to new plants with the same habitus and chromosome number (average ca 47).

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 ...
