Evolution of the apomixis transmitting chromosome in
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Apomixis is an intriguing trait in plants that results in maternal clones through seed reproduction. Apomixis is an elusive, but potentially revolutionary, trait for plant breeding and hybrid seed production.

Harnessing wild relatives of pearl millet for germplasm enhancement: Challenges and opportunities
Crop Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 177-200, January/February 2021., 2021 Abstract Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is one of the world's hardiest warm‐season cereal crop and is cultivated mainly in the semi‐arid tropics of Asia and Africa for food, feed, fodder, and brewing. It is mainly cultivated for its gluten‐free grains with high content and better quality of nutrients.

Chromosomal Evolution and Apomixis in the Cruciferous Tribe Boechereae
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The mustard family (Brassicaceae) comprises several dozen monophyletic clades usually ranked as tribes. The tribe Boechereae plays a prominent role in plant research due to the incidence of apomixis and its close relationship to Arabidopsis.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 In Cichorium intybus L., the mode of reproduction could be at the same time sexual and apomicbic. This could explain the contradictions existing in the interpretation of the heritaibidity of the characters in this species.

On the cytology of apogamy and apospory.—II. Preliminary note on apospory [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1905 Abstract Apospory is the direct vegetative process which leads from the sporophyte to the gametophyte without the intervention of spores. This phenomenon has for a long time been known to occur in mosses and ferns, and several writers have described its morphological characters, but its cytological history has hitherto remained ...
