Meiosis genes in
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Thousands of parthenogenetic animal species have been described and cytogenetic manifestations of this reproductive mode are well known. However, little is understood about the molecular determinants of parthenogenesis.

Induction of Synthetic Apomixis in Two Sorghum Hybrids Enables Seed Yield and Genotype Preservation Over Multiple Generations. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT 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.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Modern plant breeding programs rely heavily on the generation of homozygous lines, with the traditional process requiring the inbreeding of a heterozygous cross for five to six generations. Doubled haploid (DH) technology, a process of generating haploid

Relationship Between c-Jun N-terminal Kinase and Depression [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Depression is one of the most common emotional disorders. The cause of depression is still not clear. C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is one number of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, which is closely related to the occurrence of many ...

Evidence of facultative parthenogenesis in three Neotropical pitviper species of the Bothrops atrox group [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 We examined four suspected cases of facultative parthenogenesis in three species of a neotropical lineage of pitvipers of the Bothrops atrox group. Reproduction without mating was observed in captive females of B. atrox, B. moojeni and B. leucurus housed

The persistence of facultative parthenogenesis in Drosophila albomicans.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Parthenogenesis has evolved independently in more than 10 Drosophila species. Most cases are tychoparthenogenesis, which is occasional or accidental parthenogenesis in normally bisexual species with a low hatching rate of eggs produced by virgin females;

Exploring the relationship between tychoparthenogenesis and inbreeding depression in the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
, 2017 Tychoparthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction in which a small proportion of unfertilized eggs can hatch spontaneously, could be an intermediate evolutionary link in the transition from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction.

Transcriptome Analysis of Thermal Parthenogenesis of the Domesticated Silkworm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Thermal induction of parthenogenesis (also known as thermal parthenogenesis) in silkworms is an important technique that has been used in artificial insemination, expansion of hybridization, transgenesis and sericultural production; however, the exact ...
