Reproduction - a factor of plant evolution

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The process of reproduction (amphimixis and apomixis) represents a major factor of evolution. The facultative apomictic species are the pioneers of evolution.

A Robust Framework for Maize Elite Line Genome Editing Through Enhanced HI‐Edit via LbCas12a Activity Optimization

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haploid induction coupled with genome editing (HI‐Edit) enables direct modification of commercial crop varieties, bypassing the need for trait introgression or direct transformation of elite lines with CRISPR machinery. However, its widespread application has been constrained by low haploid editing rates (HER), the proportion of haploids ...

Shrub Encroachment Rewires Microbial Networks to Suppress Soil Organic Carbon Mineralization in Subalpine Meadows

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Shrub encroachment in subalpine meadows reduces soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization rates and its temperature sensitivity (Q10), particularly in surface soil. This shift is driven by soil acidification, increased stable carbon content, and altered microbial network interactions.

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.
