Inheritance of Apospory in Bahiagrass, Paspalum Notatum
Hereditas, 2004 Previous studies on the inheritance of aposporous apomixis in bahiagrass showed a wide range of segregation ratios in crosses involving sexual and aposporous apomictic plants. The F1 progenies were classified through a visual progeny test carried out on few F2 plants.

Transcriptome analysis of the Arabidopsis megaspore mother cell uncovers the importance of RNA helicases for plant germline development. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 Germ line specification is a crucial step in the life cycle of all organisms. For sexual plant reproduction, the megaspore mother cell (MMC) is of crucial importance: it marks the first cell of the plant "germline" lineage that gets committed to undergo ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Apomixis in Genista salzmannii DC. (Fabaceae) [PDF]
, 1991 Genista apomixis is described for the first time in two populations of Genista salzmannii DC.: the first is diploid and the second one tetraploid. There was no female meiosis and the megaspore mother cell functioned as an unreduced megaspore, which led ...

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 It is argued that the phasic alternation of sporophyte and gametophyte in ferns involves changing gene activation during oogenesis and sporogenesis respectively.

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 ...
