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 ...

Viewpoints on apornictic and sexual reproduction in angiosperms
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Gametophytic apomixis implies different changes of the reproductive cycle of sexual plants. Each of these "elements of apomixis" occurs in sexual plants, which may even display functional diploid parthenogenesis.

Apomixis: A Developmental Perspective
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2003 The term apomixis encompasses a suite of processes whereby seeds form asexually in plants. In contrast to sexual reproduction, seedlings arising from apomixis retain the genotype of the maternal parent. The transfer of apomixis and its effective utilization in crop plants (where it is largely absent) has major advantages in agriculture.

Dysplasia of male organs induces apomixis in Malus crabapples
Ornamental Plant Research, 2021 Apomixis has high value in fruit crop propagation and breeding applications, particularly for the transgenerational fixation of heterosis. In this study, we found that flowers of the triploid Malus cultivar 'Royalty' that were bagged after emasculation ...

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.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Apomixis, or asexual reproduction by seed, represents an easy shortcut for life cycle renewal based on maternal embryo production without ploidy reduction (meiosis) and ploidy restitution (syngamy). Although the first studies officially published on this

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)
