Highlights•The high-frequency synthetic apomixis has been achieved in hybrid rice.•The
hybrid vigor of descendant clonal plants could stably transmitted through generations.•The …

Apomixis is an asexual reproduction process in which clonal seeds are formed without
meiosis and fertilization. Because of its potential in permanently preserving hybrid vigor …

Introducing asexual reproduction through seeds–apomixis–into crop species could
revolutionize agriculture by allowing F1 hybrids with enhanced yield and stability to be …

Apomixis is an asexual reproduction way of plants that can produce clonal offspring through
seeds. In this study, we introduced apomixis into rice (Oryza sativa) by mutating OsSPO11 …

Introducing apomixis into sexual crops will have far-reaching implications for seed
production and crop improvement. Apomixis will allow the immediate fixation of any desired …

In hybrid plants, heterosis often produces large, vigorous plants with high yields; however,
hybrid seeds are generated by costly and laborious crosses of inbred parents. Apomixis, in …

Apomixis, the asexual formation of seeds, is a potentially valuable agricultural trait. Inducing
apomixis in sexual crop plants would, for example, allow breeders to fix heterosis in hybrid …

Utilization of heterosis is fundamental to modern agricultural improvement and contributes
significantly to food security and agricultural development (Ouyang et al., 2022). However …

Apomixis is a form of reproduction leading to clonal seeds and offspring that are genetically
identical to the maternal plant. While apomixis naturally occurs in hundreds of plant species …

Apomixis, the asexual reproduction of plants through seeds, has received increasing
attention as technological advances have led to a rapid increase in knowledge about …
