Apospory and Diplospory in Diploid Boechera (Brassicaceae) May Facilitate Speciation by Recombination-Driven Apomixis-to-Sex Reversals

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Apomixis (asexual seed formation) in angiosperms occurs either sporophytically, through adventitious embryony, or gametophytically, where an unreduced female gametophyte (embryo sac) forms and produces an unreduced egg that develops into an embryo ...

A study of the heterochronic sense/antisense RNA representation in florets of sexual and apomictic Paspalum notatum

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2021
Background Apomixis, an asexual mode of plant reproduction, is a genetically heritable trait evolutionarily related to sexuality, which enables the fixation of heterozygous genetic combinations through the development of maternal seeds.

Tetraploidisation is a common phenomenon in apomictic Citrus seedlings affected by genotype and environmental conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Citrus species are mainly diploid (2n=2x=18) and very few natural polyploid are encountered in the citrus gene pool. However, several reports of tetraploid seedlings occurrence from apomictic citrus have been done during the last century.

Harnessing the developmental potential of nucellar cells: Barriers and opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Angiosperm nucellar cells can either use or avoid meiosis in vivo, depending on the developmental context. This unique ability contrasts with the conditions required in vitro, either for a reconstituted oocyte to avoid meiosis and produce clones by ...

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

Identification of ovule transcripts from the Apospory-Specific Genomic Region (ASGR)-carrier chromosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Apomixis, asexual seed production in plants, holds great potential for agriculture as a means to fix hybrid vigor. Apospory is a form of apomixis where the embryo develops from an unreduced egg that is derived from a somatic nucellar cell, the

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Coppice potential of 16 different species of Eucalyptus after an eight-year rotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The adoption of coppice is a commonly used management in different regions of Brazil for plantations of Eucalyptus, which requires less investments. However, there are variations in the ability of each genotype to emit sprouts, and higher yields can be ...

Highly heterozygous Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang originated from ancient hybridization between mandarin and pummelo and displayed distinct tissue‐specific allelic imbalance

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The genus Citrus is characterized by a reticulate evolutionary history with frequent hybridization, making it an intriguing subject for genome evolution investigation. Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang (Huyou) is a unique landrace first discovered in Zhejiang Province, China, with premium fruit quality.

More than symbioses : orchid ecology ; with examples from the Sydney Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Orchidaceae are one of the largest and most diverse families of flowering plants. Orchids grow as terrestrial, lithophytic, epiphytic or climbing herbs but most orchids native to the Sydney Region can be placed in one of two categories.
