Definition of apomixis in English: apomixisnoun ˌapəˈmɪksɪsˌapəˈmiksis mass nounBotany Asexual reproduction in plants, in particular agamospermy. Often contrasted with amphimixis Example sentencesExamples - In apomixis, an embryo is created from a diploid cell in the ovule.
- Most published work on poaceae is devoted to plant breeding issues, since apomixis - which allows hybrids to breed true - is as valuable a trait in plant breeding as in population biology.
- The asexuality may be of any kind including apomixis (reproduction by unreduced egg cells).
- Another example is the major impact that understanding apomixis would have on plant breeding.
- Therefore it can be assumed that the seeds analyzed in this study were the result of neither selfing nor apomixis.
- Polyembryonic seeds can arise through several developmental pathways and in some cases may involve apomixis stimulated by fertilization of nearby ovules.
- During in vivo development, maternal apomixis refers to the asexual formation of a seed from the maternal tissues of the ovule, avoiding the processes of meiosis and fertilization.
- A second explanation for the formation of seed in bagged hermaphroditic flowers can be apomixis, the formation of seed without pollination.
- Genetic and molecular mapping studies based on the analysis of offspring from apomictic by sexual crosses have been carried out on multiple species reproducing by gametophytic apomixis.
- Only one plant in the apomixis treatment developed two ovules.
- It is noteworthy that according to the studies of Illg, M. brasiliensis may be apomictic, although pollinator-dependent; i.e. apomixis is triggered by pollen-tube development.
- Pollen quality may be correlated with male fertility and apomixis.
- No experiments were conducted to test whether or not the high fruit set observed in this species was due to apomixis.
- Some angiosperms reproduce by apomixis, a natural way of cloning through seeds.
- To eliminate the possibility of apomixes an additional treatment was added in 2000: flowers on 10 female plants were bagged.
- The particular form of apomixis involves the development of a 2n embryo sac followed by fertilization of the central nuclei to form the endosperm (pseudogamy).
- Plants also show great ranges in self-fertility from obligate outcrossing to complete selfing to apomixis (uniparental).
- The values given in Table 3 are only indicative of the success of the crosses and should not be considered as definitive, since selfing, and probably also apomixis, took place in some of the cases.
- Five individuals were assigned to a fifth treatment to investigate the possibility of apomixis.
- There are two types of thelytokous reproduction: apomixis - clonal reproduction, which can be diploid or polyploid - and automixis, a meiosis that takes place after which diploidy is restored.
Derivatives adjective Botany Parthenogenetic weevils are apomictic. Example sentencesExamples - A major scientific goal in the last decade has been to isolate genes specifically expressed in apomictic genotypes.
- Maternal apomictic embryos develop from a somatic cell within the ovule or from an unreduced embryo sac derived from the megaspore mother cell (diplospory).
- They are all native to the subtropical and temperate regions of South America, and sexual diploids and apomictic polyploids are known for almost all of them.
- Such plants are very rare in other apomictic plant species.
- However, some tetraploid lines are facultatively apomictic and an individual plant may set seed both apomictically and sexually.
- The gene(s) controlling apomictic reproduction in Tripsacum have been assigned to the long arm of chromosome 16.
- However, this seems unlikely since, as far as we know, no apomictic taxa of Primulaceae have been detected.
- First, like many other members of the rose family (including apples), it is apomictic.
- In a highly inbred or apomictic group, every individual would be a species according to the biological species concept.
- Expression of four oleopollenin genes in eight individuals of the predominantly apomictic species Boechera holboellii.
- The resulting hybrids often are apomictic and locally distributed.
- The results show that early fertilization leads to the formation of apomictic embryos while fertilization at anthesis favours the formation of sexually derived embryos.
- This primary function of pollen is a constraint that suffices to explain why apomictic grasses make pollen.
- Furthermore, apomictic reproduction has been found in most polyploid Corollinae species, which, if transferred to cultivated beet, has the potential to improve the fixation of desired genotypes in breeding programmes.
