The " Sorbus " group are apomictic, producing viable seed without the need for pollination and fertilisation.
12.
"Sorbus intermedia " is a triple hybrid between " apomictic species which breed true without pollination.
13.
The plants formed by such a cross were half millet and half wild relative, and some of them were apomictic.
14.
With apomictic plants, the embryo, which is inside the seed, contains a full set of chromosomes from the mother.
15.
Like so many other apomictic species of Hieracium, it has an extremely localised distribution and requires specialist knowledge to recognise it.
16.
Although it is apomictic, it is a choice parent for crosses because of its rapid repeat flowering trait and long bloom season.
17.
Most scientists interviewed said it would take at least five years to produce apomictic crops and some said it could be more than 10.
18.
If a mutation causes the sexually producing plant to turn apomictic, the gene can be fished out since arabidopsis is having its genome sequenced.
19.
This benefit may have prevented the evolutionary replacement of meiosis and selfing by a simpler type of clonal reproduction such as ameiotic or apomictic parthenogenesis.
20.
With each repeat of this process, the offspring become more like the crop and less like the wild relative _ except that they remain apomictic.
