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.

Identifying and Engineering Genes for Parthenogenesis in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Parthenogenesis is the spontaneous development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. It naturally occurs in a variety of plant and animal species.

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 ...

To infinity and beyond: recent progress, bottlenecks, and potential of clonal seeds by apomixis. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY Apomixis – clonal seed production in plants – is a rare yet phylogenetically widespread trait that has recurrently evolved in plants to fix hybrid genotypes over generations. Apomixis is absent from major crop species and has been seen as a holy grail of plant breeding due to its potential to propagate hybrid vigor in perpetuity.

Asexual reproduction through seeds: the complex case of diplosporous apomixis. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2023 Apomixis is considered a potentially revolutionary tool to generate high-quality food at a lower cost and shorter developmental time due to clonal seed production through apomeiosis and parthenogenesis.

Turning meiosis into mitosis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 Apomixis, or asexual clonal reproduction through seeds, is of immense interest due to its potential application in agriculture. One key element of apomixis is apomeiosis, a deregulation of meiosis that results in a mitotic-like division.

The
New Phytologist, 2013 Summary Apomixis or asexual seed formation in Hieracium praealtum (Asteraceae) is controlled by two independent dominant loci. One of these, the LOSS OF APOMEIOSIS (LOA) locus, controls apomixis initiation, mitotic embryo sac formation (apospory) and suppression of the sexual pathway.
