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)

Eragrostis curvula, a Model Species for Diplosporous Apomixis
Plants, 2021 Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness is a grass with a particular apomictic embryo sac development called Eragrostis type. Apomixis is a type of asexual reproduction that produces seeds without fertilization in which the resulting progeny is genetically ...

A 3D analysis of the reproductive development of Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness
, 2023 Apomixis, defined as asexual propagation by seeds, is a type of plant reproduction found in more than 400angiosperms. This polyphyletic trait has been studied in various species, and it is considered of greatimportance in the agricultural industry as it ...

Apomixis and strategies to induce apomixis to preserve hybrid vigor for multiple generations [PDF]
GM Crops & Food, 2020 Hybrid seeds of several important crops with supreme qualities including yield, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance have been cultivated for decades. Thus far, a major challenge with hybrid seeds is that they do not have the ability to produce plants with the same qualities over subsequent generations.

Apomixis: an enigma with potential applications [PDF]
, 2005 Apomixis has been the focus of research in plant sciences in recent years with lot of scope for crop improvement. It results in clonal progeny without fertilization, having maternal genetic constitution.
