DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.890038
Abstract: Asexual reproduction through seeds in plants (i.e., apomixis) is a heritable trait, and apomixis- linked loci have been identified in multiple species. However, direct identification of genomic elements is typically hindered as apomixis-linked loci and… read more here.

Seed size, endosperm and germination variation in sexual and apomictic Boechera

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.991531
Abstract: Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the mother. Among apomictic plants (reproducing asexually through seeds) many require paternal genetic contribution for proper endosperm development (pseudogamous endosperm). We examined phenotypic diversity in… read more here.
