| 31. | In apomixis, the process that halves the number of chromosomes in a female cell prior to fertilization is bypassed.
|
| 32. | Apomixis can also happen in a seed, producing a seed that contains an embryo genetically identical to the parent.
|
| 33. | Apomixis ( asexual reproduction from non-fertilized seeds ) appeared common in " P . orientalis ".
|
| 34. | Some authors included all forms of asexual reproduction within apomixis, but that generalization of the term has since died out.
|
| 35. | These include plants that reproduce vegetatively by runners or bulbils, or which produce seeds without embryo fertilization ( apomixis ).
|
| 36. | This bacterium causes functional apomixis in the mites, so that a female produces only offspring that are identical to her.
|
| 37. | But apomixis could also represent a threat to the seed companies, changing the balance of power between the companies and farmers.
|
| 38. | "Apomixis is a winner from all perspectives, " says Brian Johnson, an adviser of the British government.
|
| 39. | Elsewhere, John Carman of Utah State University in Logan claims to have found a way of introducing apomixis without genetic engineering.
|
| 40. | Apomixis and parthenogenesis, types of asexual reproduction, also result in true breeding, although the organisms are usually not homozygous.
