Genetics and molecular research : GMR, 2004 Apomixis means seed formation without fertilization. In cassava (Manihot esculenta) it is an alternative to reproduction by cuttings, which normally transmits pathogens and leads to an accumulation of viral and bacterial diseases. Apomixis also assures preservation of heterosis and avoids genetic segregation.

A Strategy for Cloning Apomixis-Associated cDNA Markers from Buffelgrass [PDF]
A strategy to select apomixis-associated cDNA sequences was partially tested in buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link, = Cenclrrns ciliaris L.). The dominant A gene allele which confers apomixis would likely be expressed as mRNA only in reproductive ...

Interspecific Transfer of Apomixis in Pennisetum
Apomixis is a vegetative means of reproduction through the seed. It provides an opportunity to increase production, reduce production costs, simplify breeding methods and fix unique gene combinations in many of our major world food crops such as ...

Apomixis and the paradox of sex in plants
Annals of BotanyAbstract Background The predominance of sex in eukaryotes, despite the high costs of meiosis and mating, remains an evolutionary enigma. Many theories have been proposed, none of them being conclusive on its own, and they are, in part, not well applicable to land plants.

Apomixis in sorghum : mode of reproduction, inheritance, and improvement of apomictic frequency
, 1977 Vita.Five selected sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) lines, R473, Polygynaceous line (PGY), White seed mutant (WS), South Dakota line (Experimental 3-58) (SD), and Double haploid of 'Tx403' (DH) were studied for mode of reproduction, inheritance of ...
