BMC Genomics, 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

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1712-1724, March 2026.ABSTRACT Induction of apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seed, could economise commercial hybrid seed production and enable smallholder farmers to save and sow hybrid seed. Here, we demonstrate the synthetic induction of apomixis in two sorghum hybrids and show that the clonal hybrid seed can be maintained across multiple seed generations.

Engineering meiotic recombination pathways in rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 2062-2077, November 2019., 2019 Summary In the last 15 years, outstanding progress has been made in understanding the function of meiotic genes in the model dicot and monocot plants Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa L.), respectively. This knowledge allowed to modulate meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis and, more recently, in rice. For instance, the overall frequency of crossovers

Reproductive strategy in the Ranunculus auricomus complex (ranunculaceae)
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 A preliminary study of reproductive strategy was carried out on plants representing four cytotypes of the Ranunculus auricomus complex. Diploid plants reproduce sexually, triploids, tetraploids and hexaploids have an apomictic mode of reproduction ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Apomixis, an asexual mode of reproduction through seeds, has immense scope for crop improvement due to its ability to fix hybrid vigor. In C. ciliaris, a predominantly apomictically reproducing range grass, apomixis is genetically controlled by an ...

Bangiales (Rhodophyta) in New Zealand: current state of knowledge and future directions
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2245-2263, December 2025.ABSTRACT Members of the red algal order Bangiales are morphologically simple, with the gametophyte generation consisting of either filaments or blades, and the sporophyte generation consisting of microscopic uniseriate branched filaments. An ancient lineage, the order is distributed worldwide.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 375-386, October 2019., 2019 Wild, perennial, herbaceous plant species have the capacity to provide both agricultural products and ecological services, such as soil stability and efficient absorption, over multiple years. Although perennial, herbaceous species are common in nature, these species were rarely domesticated.

Embryo sac development in some South African cultivars of Lantana camara
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1982 Twenty embryo sacs from each of 20 different Lantana camara L. cultivars naturalized in South Africa were examined. The normal sexual embryo sacs were monosporic 8-nucleated embryo sacs of the polygonum type and were encountered in 55% of the material ...
