A very interesting feature of many species of the genus is asexual reproduction, a process known as apomixis . sexual parents.
42.
In plants, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell, and is a component process of apomixis.
43.
He has become a well-known authority on the genus " Antennaria " and its associated polyploidy and apomixis.
44.
The grass is tillers, or via apomixis with unfertilized seeds, and some populations are made up only of female individuals.
45.
JEFFERSON : The classic example that I've been harping on about for years is apomixis, or obtaining seeds without sex.
46.
Reproduction of successful polyploid species is sometimes asexual, by parthenogenesis or apomixis, as for unknown reasons many asexual organisms are polyploid.
47.
Also, asexual reproduction, such as through apomixis in plants, may separate lineages without producing a great degree of morphological differentiation.
48.
Their experiments repeated those of Gregor Mendel with Hieracium hybrids, showing that Mendel had observed a mixture of sexual recombination and apomixis.
49.
A microspecies is a group of organisms with very little genetic variability, usually a part of a species aggregate reproducing by apomixis.
50.
Tryon also made significant contributions to the study of fern reproductive biology with her studies of apomixis in " Pellaea ".
