The genetic control of apomixis: asexual seed formation
Apomixis (asexual seed formation) is the result of a plant gaining the ability to bypass the
most fundamental aspects of sexual reproduction: meiosis and fertilization. Without the need …

Did apomixis evolve from sex or was it the other way around?
In angiosperms, there are two pathways of reproduction through seeds: sexual, or
amphimictic, and asexual, or apomictic. The essential feature of apomixis is that an embryo …
