In plants, embryogenesis and reproduction are not strictly dependent on fertilization. Several
species can produce embryos in seeds asexually, a process known as apomixis. Apomixis …

Apomixis is a genetically controlled reproductive process by which embryos and seeds
develop in the ovule without female meiosis and egg cell fertilization. Apomixis produces …

Apomixis gives rise to a novel prospect in agricultural production: the opportunity to
establish genetically stable, seed‐propagating clones of crops, which can perpetuate …

In neotropical ecosystems, genetic variability and diversity of plant species seem to be
generated and maintained by sexual reproduction. However, apomixis appears as an …

Apomixis is seed formation without fertilization, commonly observed in wild plant species. It
has the advantages of clonal reproduction and propagation by seeds. Although it has a …

The introduction of apomixis—asexual reproduction through seeds—into crop plants is
considered the holy grail of agriculture, as it would provide a mechanism to maintain …

Apomixis is an asexual mode of reproduction through seeds where progeny are clones of
the mother plants. Naturally apomictic modes of reproduction are found in hundreds of plant …

Apomixis sensu stricto (agamospermy) is asexual reproduction by seed. In angiosperms it
represents an easy byway of life cycle renewal through gamete-like cells that give rise to …

Apomixis, the asexual reproduction via seed, often occurs in huge plant polyploid
complexes with large geographical distributions. However, the long-term evolutionary fate of …

Among the many other advantages, apomictic food crops eliminate the need of farmers in
developing countries for yearly purchases of new hybrid seed. It is argued that (especially) …
