Study Progress of Apomixis in Flax (Linum Usitatissimum L.)
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021 In this paper, the history of flax breeding, the types, research methods, occurrence, and genetic mechanism of apomixis were reviewed. The development and genetic mechanism of apomixis in polyembryonic flax, the progress in inducing methods and other ...

Options for Engineering Apomixis in Plants
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.

Evolution of an Apomixis-Specific Allele Class in Supernumerary Chromatin of Apomictic Boechera
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 ...

Polyembryonic or Apomictic Seeds Enable Fig Trees to Establish New Populations Without Their Pollinating Wasps, a Case Observation in Ficus gasparriniana [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFig–wasp coevolution has been extensively studied as a fascinating case of extreme plant–insect codiversification, yet little is known about how fig trees reproduce without pollinating fig wasps. This study provides direct evidence that fig trees sustain

Morphological and molecular evidence supporting advantages of apomictic seed production in castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Ricinus communis L. is a large plant from the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae), grown for industrial and medicinal purposes. In this research, progenies obtained from three types of reproduction, including apomixis, self-pollination, and open ...

Construction of AFLP-based cosegregation groups of tetraploid Plicatula species and identification of markers linked to apomixis [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2022 Most species of Plicatula are important native forages. This work aimed to build framework cosegregation groups of the apomictic tetraploid race of Paspalum guenoarum cv. Rojas and localize the locus controlling apomixis in the species.

International Journal of Fruit Science, 2023 Apomixis is a mode of asexual reproduction through seed. Apomixis can be classified into two types – gametophytic and sporophytic apomixis. The phenomenon of apomixis in higher plants is limited; however, it seems to play a critical role in the genetic ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that produces offspring without the need for combining male and female gametes, and the offspring have the same genetic makeup as the mother.

Genomic methylation patterns in pre-meiotic gynoecia of wild-type and RdDM mutants of Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionAlthough DNA methylation patterns are generally considered to be faithfully inherited in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), there is evidence of reprogramming during both male and female gametogenesis.

Plants, 2021 Apomixis seems to emerge from the deregulation of preexisting genes involved in sexuality by genetic and/or epigenetic mechanisms. The trait is associated with polyploidy, but diploid individuals of Paspalum rufum can form aposporous embryo sacs and ...
