Apomixis, the asexual reproduction via seed, has many potential applications for plant
breeding by maintaining desirable genotypes over generations. Since most major crops do …

Angiosperms display an enormous diversity of forms, functions and strategies when it comes
to reproduction. This multiplicity has been translated into several terminological concepts …

Apomixis is a difficult-to-analyse trait with a complex molecular basis and a substantive
effect on the biology of a species. Thus, apomixis is an interesting characteristic for …

The tropical Bignoniaceae is mostly late-acting self-incompatible (LSI) and depends on a
guild of medium to large sized bees for their pollination. Adenocalymma nodosum and A …

Some tropical Bignoniaceae form sporophytic apomictic polyploid complexes are similar to
better studied temperate plants. Handroanthus ochraceus is a widely distributed Neotropical …

Polyploidy and whole genome duplication are major evolutionary drivers in plants. Climate
variations during the Pleistocene have influenced distribution and range expansion …

Abstract n the Neotropics, the focus of apomictic studies predominantly centres on trees
within the Brazilian savanna, characterized, mostly as sporophytic and facultative …

Geographic parthenogenesis, range expansion of apomictic plants after climate changes,
has been described for Northern Hemisphere gametophytic apomicts. But similar trends …

In diploid late-acting self-incompatible (LSI) species of Bignoniaceae, self-pollinated pistils
show a marked delay in ovule penetration by pollen tubes, followed by delayed, but …

Polyembryony is a characteristic that is expressed in many plants. Despite that this trait has
been studied further since the last century, there is still a lack of information about its …
