Identifying and Engineering Genes for Parthenogenesis in Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Parthenogenesis is the spontaneous development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. It naturally occurs in a variety of plant and animal species.

Geographic parthenogenesis and plant-enemy interactions in the common dandelion
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013 Background Many species with sexual and asexual variants show a pattern of geographic parthenogenesis where asexuals have broader and higher-latitude distribution than sexuals.

Plants, 2022 The role of apomeiosis, parthenogenesis, and pseudogamy in the asexual reproduction of some plant groups has not been fully elucidated in relation to species diversification.

“Jack‐of‐all‐trades” is parthenogenetic
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sex is evolutionarily more costly than parthenogenesis, evolutionary ecologists therefore wonder why sex is much more frequent than parthenogenesis in the majority of animal lineages. Intriguingly, parthenogenetic individuals and species are as common as

Distribution of \u3ci\u3ePelecinus Polyturator\u3c/i\u3e in Wisconsin (Hymenoptera: Pelecinidae), With Speculations Regarding Geographical Parthenogenesis [PDF]
, 2017 The geographical distribution of Pelecinus polyturator in Wisconsin is summarized. Only five males have been recorded; a recently collected male from the University of Wisconsin Field Station in Ozaukee County represents the first male collected in the ...

PLoS ONE, 2019 Reptiles show varying degrees of facultative parthenogenesis. Here we use genetic methods to determine that an isolated, captive female Asian water dragon produced at least nine offspring via parthenogenesis. We identified microsatellites for the species

Simulated emergence of cyclic sexual-asexual reproduction
, 2001 Motivated by the cyclic pattern of reproductive regimes observed in some species of green flies (``{\it aphids}''), we simulate the evolution of a population enduring harsh seasonal conditions for survival.

Comparative Genomics of a Parthenogenesis-Inducing Wolbachia Symbiont. [PDF]
, 2016 Wolbachia is an intracellular symbiont of invertebrates responsible for inducing a wide variety of phenotypes in its host. These host-Wolbachia relationships span the continuum from reproductive parasitism to obligate mutualism, and provide a unique ...

Agronomy, 2020 Doubled haploids have played a major role in cucurbit breeding for the past four decades. In situ parthenogenesis via irradiated pollen is the preferred technique to obtain haploid plantlets whose chromosomes are then doubled in Cucurbitaceae, such as ...

Origin and genetic diversity of diploid parthenogenetic Artemia in Eurasia [PDF]
, 2013 There is wide interest in understanding how genetic diversity is generated and maintained in parthenogenetic lineages, as it will help clarify the debate of the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction.
