Background Hybridization and polyploidization are powerful evolutionary factors that are associated with manifold developmental changes in plants such as irregular progression of meiosis and sporogenesis.

Evolutionary role of apomixis: S. S. Khokhlov’s hypothesis in the light of modern data [PDF]
In 1949 S. S. Khokhlov (one of the founders of the Russian scientifi c school on the problem of apomixes) proved the original conception of the progressive evolutionary role of apomixis.

Eragrostis curvula, a Model Species for Diplosporous Apomixis
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 ...

Ploidy levels and reproductive behaviour in invasive Hieracium pilosella in Patagonia [PDF]
Within a population of invasive Hieracium pilosella in Chilean Patagonia we found two ploidy levels, pentaploid and hexaploid. Each ploidy level was represented by one clone.

Apomixis and strategies to induce apomixis to preserve hybrid vigor for multiple generations [PDF]
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.

Most apomictic plants are facultative, maintaining the ability to reproduce sexually at different frequencies depending on the taxa, ploidy, and reproductive stage.

Reproduction - a factor of plant evolution
The process of reproduction (amphimixis and apomixis) represents a major factor of evolution. The facultative apomictic species are the pioneers of evolution.

Increased apomixis expression concurrent with genetic and epigenetic variation in a newly synthesized Eragrostis curvula polyploid [PDF]
Eragrostis curvula includes biotypes reproducing through obligate and facultative apomixis or, rarely, full sexuality. We previously generated a ‘‘tetraploid-dihaploid-tetraploid’’ series of plants consisting of a tetraploid apomictic plant (T), a sexual
