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 …

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

This study characterizes the osmophores and corolla traits in 18 species of Bignonieae
Dumort., a Bignoniaceae tribe occurring in the Cerrado, a neotropical savanna in Brazil. To …

Breeding systems have been associated with polyploidization and genomic change, which
have a central role in the diversification of Angiosperms. Polyploidy commonly leads to …

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 …

Bignoniaceae is a diverse family composed of 840 species with Pantropical distribution. The
chromosome number 2 n= 40 is predominant in most species of the family, with n= 20 …

The Epidendrum nocturnum Jacq. group comprises about 60 species. Nine species occur in
Brazil, predominantly in the Atlantic and Amazon Forests. The group is taxonomically …

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 …

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