This project investigates the genetic mechanisms behind apomixis, a form of asexual reproduction in plants, to develop new breeding technologies. By focusing on a specific gene related to parthenogenesis, the aim is to create stable hybrid crops that can reproduce clonally, enhancing agricultural sustainability and eff…
Some plant species have abandoned sex and produce clonal seeds by apomixis; here, we will explore how this occurs, and exploit these insights to develop novel breeding technologies.
In contrast to most eukaryotic species in which reproduction is sexual, a minority of plants and animals have evolved alternative – asexual – reproductive strategies.
In plants, apomixis allows clonal transmission of favorable, hybrid genotypes through seeds over unlimited generations.
Hybrid crop varieties are stres…
