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.

BMC Plant Biology, 2010 Background DIPLOSPOROUS (DIP) is the locus for diplospory in Taraxacum, associated to unreduced female gamete formation in apomicts. Apomicts reproduce clonally through seeds, including apomeiosis, parthenogenesis, and autonomous or pseudogamous ...

Pistil Transcriptome Analysis to Disclose Genes and Gene Products Related to Aposporous Apomixis in Hypericum perforatum L. [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Unlike sexual reproduction, apomixis encompasses a number of reproductive strategies, which permit maternal genome inheritance without genetic recombination and syngamy.

Apomictic and sexual germline development differ with respect to cell cycle, transcriptional, hormonal and epigenetic regulation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Seeds of flowering plants can be formed sexually or asexually through apomixis. Apomixis occurs in about 400 species and is of great interest for agriculture as it produces clonal offspring. It differs from sexual reproduction in three major aspects: (1)

Phylogenetically Distant BABY BOOM Genes From Setaria italica Induce Parthenogenesis in Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The combination of apomixis and hybrid production is hailed as the holy grail of agriculture for the ability of apomixis to fix heterosis of F1 hybrids in succeeding generations, thereby eliminating the need for repeated crosses to produce F1 hybrids ...

New Frontiers in Potato Breeding: Tinkering with Reproductive Genes and Apomixis [PDF]
BiomoleculesPotato is the most important non-cereal crop worldwide, and, yet, genetic gains in potato have been traditionally delayed by the crop’s biology, mostly the genetic heterozygosity of autotetraploid cultivars and the intricacies of the reproductive system.

The Boechera Genus as a Resource for Apomixis Research [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The genera Boechera (A. Löve et D. Löve) and Arabidopsis, the latter containing the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, belong to the same clade within the Brassicaceae family.

bioRxivAbstract Hybrid crops are agriculturally desirable due to heterosis but are costly or difficult to produce. Synthetic apomixis, clonal reproduction through seed, offers the ability to fix hybrid vigor. Two components are needed to achieve this goal: the formation of diploid gametes identical to the maternal parent ...
