Eragrostis curvula, a Model Species for Diplosporous Apomixis [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness is a grass with a particular apomictic embryo sac development called Eragrostis type. Apomixis is a type of asexual reproduction that produces seeds without fertilization in which the resulting progeny is genetically ...

A sexual/apomictic consensus linkage map of Eragrostis curvula at tetraploid level [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Apomixis is an asexual reproduction process that allows plants to bypass meiosis and fertilization, resulting in clonal seeds that are genetically identical to the maternal genotype.
