The term “Geographical parthenogenesis” describes the phenomenon that asexual
organisms usually occupy larger and more northern distribution areas than their sexual …

Polyploidy, or genome doubling, has occurred repeatedly through plant evolution. While
polyploid plants are used extensively in agriculture and horticulture, they have so far found …

Navigating the challenges in apomixis population genetics requires a comprehensive
understanding of its unique genetic consequences. This review explores the population …

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 subfamily Bromelioideae is one of the most diverse groups among the neotropical
Bromeliaceae. Previously, key innovations have been identified which account for the …

Some angiosperms exhibit the ability to form seeds asexually through apomixis. This
reproduction mode is more common in some families such as Melastomataceae, in which 64 …

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

The production of triploids and apomictic reproduction are important processes for polyploid
establishment and cytotype coexistence, but we know little about the interaction between …

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

 Abstract A new species of Eriotheca (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae) from montane wet forests
in the Atlantic Forest of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. It is known …
