Apomixis in angiosperms is asexual reproduction from seed. Its importance to
angiospermous evolution and biodiversity has been difficult to assess mainly because of …

Hybrid seeds of several important crops with supreme qualities including yield, biotic and
abiotic stress tolerance have been cultivated for decades. Thus far, a major challenge with …

To overcome environmental stress, plants develop physiological responses that are
triggered by genetic or epigenetic changes, some of which involve DNA methylation. It has …

Hieracium praealtum forms seeds asexually by apomixis. During ovule development, sexual
reproduction initiates with megaspore mother cell entry into meiosis and formation of a tetrad …

Apomixis is an asexual mode of reproduction through seeds in plant which results in clonal
multiplication of the maternal plant due to the absence of meiosis and fertilization of egg cell …

Apomixis is defined as the asexual plant reproduction through seeds that results in the
production of genetically uniform progeny. In fact, apomixis could be considered as a natural …

The genera Boechera (A. Löve et D. Löve) and Arabidopsis, the latter containing the model
plant Arabidopsis thaliana, belong to the same clade within the Brassicaceae family …

In angiosperms, the transition to the female gametophytic phase relies on the specification of
premeiotic gamete precursors from sporophytic cells in the ovule. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a …
