New Considerations on Meiosis, Affinity and Genomic Constitution in Aneuploids and Interploid Hybrids of Urochloa P. Beauv. (Brachiaria)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The combination of polyploidy, apomixis and the formation of aneuploid and interploid hybrids makes the genus Urochloa an interesting system for investigating meiotic stability and genome behaviour in grasses. In this study, routine meiotic analysis and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used to (i) evaluate meiosis in three hybrids of ...

Environmental and Evolutionary Correlates of Extinction Risk in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We show that larger genera have a greater number of threatened and near‐threatened species, and that extinction risk is uncoupled with evolutionary history (diversification, speciation, extinction rates and lineage age). The decoupling of diversification rates and lineage age with current extinction risk suggests drivers of extinction risk are ...

An Apomixis-Gene’s View on Dandelions

open access: yes, 2009
In asexual organisms, the clone constitutes a level above the individual. Most dandelions (Taraxacum officinale s.l.) reproduce asexually through apomixis, asexual reproduction through seeds.

Morphological and molecular evidence supporting advantages of apomictic seed production in castor bean (Ricinus communis L.)

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Ricinus communis L. is a large plant from the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae), grown for industrial and medicinal purposes. In this research, progenies obtained from three types of reproduction, including apomixis, self-pollination, and open ...

Investigating the Possibility of Wolbachia‐ and Cardinium‐Induced Parthenogenesis in Two Mite Species

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
In arthropods, thelytokous parthenogenesis, in which females develop from unfertilised eggs, is often associated with reproductive manipulation by endosymbiotic bacteria such as Wolbachia and Cardinium. This study investigated whether thelytokous parthenogenesis in two mite species, Amblyseius herbicolus (Phytoseiidae) and Czenspinskia ...

Polyembryonic or Apomictic Seeds Enable Fig Trees to Establish New Populations Without Their Pollinating Wasps, a Case Observation in Ficus gasparriniana

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Fig–wasp coevolution has been extensively studied as a fascinating case of extreme plant–insect codiversification, yet little is known about how fig trees reproduce without pollinating fig wasps. This study provides direct evidence that fig trees sustain
