Genetic Mechanism and Molecular Basis of Apomixis in Plant
植物无融合生殖的遗传机理和分子机理的研究进展 Genetic Mechanism and Molecular Basis of Apomixis in Plant

Apomixis allows the establishment of genetically stable seed propagating clones of crops,which can perpetuate themselves across countless sporophytic generations.This asexual mode of reproduction,which naturally occurs in some angiosperms,may prove to be an unrivalled tool to improve crop yields.The current state of knowledge on the molecular and genetic basis of apomixis is reviewed.
