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

Main conclusion Apomixis is a complex evolutionary trait with many possible origins. Here
we discuss various clues and causes, ultimately proposing a model harmonizing the three …

Warm-season grasses are C4 plants and have a high capacity for biomass productivity.
These grasses are utilized in many agricultural production systems with their greatest value …

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 …

In the past decades, the grasses of the Paspalum genus have emerged as a versatile model
allowing evolutionary, genetic, molecular, and developmental studies on apomixis as well …

Key message iTRAQ based proteomic identified key proteins and provided new insights into
the molecular mechanisms underlying somatic embryogenesis in cotton. Abstract Somatic …

Main conclusion In this paper, an interaction model of apomixis-related genes was
constructed to analyze the emergence of apomictic types. It is speculated that apomixis …

Projections indicate that current plant breeding approaches will be unable to incorporate the
global crop yields needed to deliver global food security. Apomixis is a disruptive innovation …

Background The apomictic reproductive mode of Brachiaria (syn. Urochloa) forage species
allows breeders to faithfully propagate heterozygous genotypes through seed over multiple …

Somatic embryogenesis receptor kinases (SERKs) belong to a small gene family of receptor-
like kinases involved in signal transduction. A total of 54 genes were shortlisted from the …
