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 ...

Evolutionary role of apomixis: S. S. Khokhlov’s hypothesis in the light of modern data [PDF]
Известия Саратовского университета. Новая серия: Серия Химия. Биология. Экология, 2022 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.

Implications of hybridisation and cytotypic differentiation in speciation assessed by AFLP and plastid haplotypes : a case study of Potentilla alpicola La Soie [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Hybridisation is presumed to be an important mechanism in plant speciation and a creative evolutionary force often accompanied by polyploidisation and in some cases by apomixis. The Potentilla collina group constitutes a particularly suitable

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.

Increased apomixis expression concurrent with genetic and epigenetic variation in a newly synthesized Eragrostis curvula polyploid [PDF]
, 2014 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
